Review

"'McAuliffe's encyclopedia promises to become the central English-language reference work for qur'anic studies' P. S. Spaulding, Illinois College, Choice, 2002 'The first volume fulfills the project's aim to summarize recent decades of scholarship and will without doubt fulfill another aim, to inspire new work in the decades to come. Enthusiastically recommended for all readership levels.' P. S. Spaulding, Illinois College, Choice, 2002 'The Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an is an higly prestigious and competent volume from a superb publisher with contributions by the world's leading experts. If readers were to own one volume on this topic, this work would be the encylopedia to own. The first volume is carefully and masterfully crafted and provides the expectation of valuable work to come...the scholarly community looks forward to future volumes.' Linda L. Lam-Easton, American Reference Book Annual, Vol. 34. 'The Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an is a masterful, comprehensive book...' Discourse, 2001. 'The Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an will be a truly collaborative enterprise, carried out by Muslims and non-Muslims, and its articles will present multiple approaches to the interpretation of the Qur'an... A turn-of-the-millennium summative work for the state of qur'anic scholarship.' Atlantic Monthly, 1999"
