This is a vitally important book which for the first time brings together a deeper and objective understanding of the Quranic text not available from just reading the text, or from Islamic commentators. Insights contained in the footnotes are drawn from the accumulating qur'anic scholarship by scholars not restricted by the restrictions Islam imposes on its own scholars.
This book should be read by any intending converts to Islam before they convert, by those Muslims wanting to investigate their doubts and by those interested in properly understanding the Quran and Islam
