Razi: Master of Qur?anic Interpretation and Theological Reasoning, is a thoroughly researched and eloquently expressed contribution to an exciting and relatively new line of inquiry in Islamic studies/Near Eastern studies...Jaffer's writing is engaging and elegant, and the organization of the book as a whole, as well as within each chapter and subsection, makes his thesis and subpoints accessible and clear. Overall, his first published monograph, based upon his dissertation, is a pleasure to read both in form and content. Jaffer's monograph engages thoroughly and critically with previous scholarship and is, in itself, a truly excellent addition to the emerging study of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi and the trend of incorporating philosophical methods and ideas into theological thought in the postclassical Islamic intellectual world. --The Journal of Religion Jaffer's monograph will serve as an excellent introduction to the thought of Fakhr al-din al-Razi, and to some of the ways in which philosophical thought intersects with the interpretation of the Qur'an. --Journal of the American Academy of Religion

thoroughly researched and logically written ... For the specialist it is essential reading ... This book would be a worthy addition to any Muslim's library. Ali Abd al-Malik, The Islamic Quarterly
