It is a major accomplishment that provides a compelling perspective on how the theological, literary, social and economic aspects of Qur'an translation come into play in modernity. Wilson also offers a wide array of suggestions for further research and thinking, demonstrating that the question of translation offers unique and important tools for thinking about local and translocal manifestations of Islam in global world.
