Title: Best Scholarly Intro to the Qur'an
Review: Very good intro text to the Qur'an. Watt does an excellent job of revising and updatings Bell's original book. Watt unearths the jewels from Bell's writings and makes them acceptable to the more inclusinary scholarship in vogue today. The book becomes readable to Muslims. Takes a well rounded critical view of Muslim sources but does not reject them completely. Highly recommended.
