'Ingrid Mattson has written a stimulating and scholarly account of Islam, focusing on the Quran. She has a gift for condensing complex material without oversimplifying and her approach, although scholarly, is far from being a dry analysis of well-known historical events and religious debates.' ( Journal of Islamic Studies , September 2009) ?This well-researched, informative, carefully written introduction to the Qur'an by a young Muslim scholar is a sign of the times. Mattson (Hartford Seminary) brings to her work an impressive set of credentials. Readers of whatever stripe will find her introduction a welcome addition to the academic literature on the Qur'an. This is an ideal undergraduate text, but also a useful resource for a general audience. Highly recommended.' ( Choice Reviews , October 2008) ?A balanced, academically-based, and well-documented introduction ? Mattson throws a much-needed light on what it means to be a Muslim.' ( Islamic Horizons), Ingrid Mattson is one of Newsweek's "Who's Next 2007" profiles at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16242486/site/newsweek/, "It takes rare skill to make an introduction to scripture compelling, but Mattson has done it. Students will find the text fascinating, a delicate balance of highly scholarly material and inviting anecdotes. Scholars will also find the text of interest, particularly its deft compilation of a remarkable breadth of scholarship. Perhaps most importantly, this text is the first full introduction to the study of the Qur'an from the perspective of a Western Muslim woman, bringing the Qur'an alive in ways only someone fully engaged in and sensitive to twenty-first century realities can do."Tamara Sonn, College of William & Mary"The author has been entirely successful in accomplishing her aims: she has written an academically-based, well-documented introduction to the Qur'an which will find wide readership."Andrew Rippin, University of Victoria, ngrid Mattson is one of Newsweek's "Who's Next 2007" profiles at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16242486/site/newsweek/It takes rare skill to make an introduction to scripture compelling, but Mattson has done it.
