A variety of approaches to the Qur'an and the Muslim exegetical tradition are currently available.

Taken together, they offer a sample of the aims, methods and topics of enquiry now being pursued. Each study has a full critical apparatus, and the book includes a consolidated bibliography which will be of great value to students and specialists.
