This book is a fascinating primary document illustrating how liberal middle class intellectuals in the Middle East are trying to come to terms with the challenge that higher criticism represents to the integrity of divine revelation. <br>- Bulletin of the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies <br>

'It is an intelligent and gratifying study that distinguishes itself by the clarity of its vision and the lucidity of its expression. Immediately accessible to the modern reader, exemplary in its pedagogical skills, and free of all jarring polemics and apology, Abu Hamdiyyah's book makes a very welcome contribution to the contemporary Muslim effort to solicit the Qur'an to speak to our own generation ... Abu Hamdiyyah's work stands alone in the repertoire of contemporary literature.' - S. Parvez Manzoor, The Muslim World Book Review '... this is an informative book with short, well-explained chapters.' - Victoria La'Porte, Theological Book Review
