Reviews

The books is very rich in information and it is therefore fortunate that the work ends with an index, not only containing personal names, but also the names of organizations, books, and some concepts. To specialists who follow developments in Qur'an interpretation in the Malay-Indonesian world, the present book contains a lot of materials which is familiar and have been dealt with in previous studies, but it definitely has also new things to offer. For beginning students who want to familiarize themselves with tafsir in the Malay-Indonesian world the present book is an excellent starting point. Nico J.G. Kaptein, Leiden University, Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences of Southeast Asia ...the volume is a good introduction to opening up new vistas of research into what the Qur'an means to the Malay-Indonesian world and the contributors are to be congratulated for their commendable effort. Mohamad Nasrin Nasir, National University Malaysia (UKM), The Muslim World Book Review With the diversity of the topics, engagement of past and present, and issues and challenges tackled, the volume provides significant insider perspectives and opens new vistas for exploring the unique dimensions of Qur'anic studies in this region. Tauseef Ahmad Parray, Religious Studies Review, Volume 44, Number 2, June 2018
