Reviews

'The Other in the Light of the One is a pioneering masterpiece.' -- Gai Eaton '...a very honest and profound Sufi approach to the Qur'an and the problem of unity and variety in particular... The result of very careful consideration of major issues, including important political issues of our time.' -- Professor Hermann Landolt 'In his cogent and rigorously developed argument, Shah-Kazemi sets out to articulate and substantiate a few fundamental theses that may pave the ground for a genuinely renewed religious dialogue in the wake of the post-September 11 events.' -- Professor Patrick Laude

Dr. Shah-Kazemi's approach and insights are extremely valuable. --James S. Cutsinger, professor, University of South Carolina
