Reviews
“The introduction of Revelation and Falsification is to be commended for the vast research and diversity of the sources consulted therein. It especially provides a good historical survey of the study of the Qurʿan by Western scholars. […] In the notes the authors have shown their full command and outstanding expertise on Shiʿa and Sunni sources of tafsir (exegesis) together with their meticulous research. […] All in all, Revelation and Falsification is a valuable contribution to the study of the Qurʿan and to creating a deeper understanding of the Shiʿa creed.”
