Reviews
“Ultimately, this book should be recognized for the singular contribution it makes to several overlapping but distinct fields of research – Biblical Studies, Arabic, Islamic Studies, and the history of religion. This book will be read by scholars and lay people interested in how to understand the Bible and from where it came, but more importantly this book will be read by people who are not accustomed to accepting the reigning standard ‘orthodox’ definitions of the Bible.”
