'This work provides a unique survey of modern Muslim voices dealing with the Qur'an and subjects them to insightful analysis. Paying attention to both academic and popular writers who are engaged in eliciting meaning from the Qur'an that is meaningful in the world of the 20th and 21st centuries, the author provides an incisive overview to the range of Muslim thought in the Arab world as well as Iran, Europe and further afield.' - Andrew Rippin, University of Victoria, Canada 'This is an impressive survey of the topic of the Qur'an and its interpretation in the modern period ... Professor's Campanini's work deserves to be widely read and its appearance in English is a very welcomed addition to our understanding of the Qur'an in the modern period.' - Walid A. Saleh, University of Toronto, Canada An excellent introductory work on the modern tafsir tradition which would be useful to students and general readers alike. - AMIDU OLALEKAN SANNI; Journal of Qur'anic Studies, Vol 15, no 2, pp. 183-186 (2013).
