Title: A must have volume
Review: The Blackwell Companion to the Quran is a must-have for any student who wishes to follow contemporary research in the field of Quran and its place in the Islamic Society. The Editor has carefully selected research from Universities all over the world, including from such established researchers as Mustansir Mir, Salwa M S El-Awa, Angelika Neuwirth, and Brannon Wheeler.The book is neatly classified in sections such as Orientation, Application, Content, and Interpretation etc. and covers wide ranging topics with those on Argumentation, Jihad, and Exegetical Sciences being a must read for anyone who wants to delve deeper in the intricacies of the Revealed Text.One glaring miss in this text, though, is the absence on any research on Quranic Oaths as well as a comparison of Quranic Language with that of the Language of the pre-Islamic Arabia.All in all, thumbs up to the excellent collection of works presented in this volume.
