Muzaffar Iqbal
The Quran, Orientalism, and the Encyclopedia of the Quran brings into sharp relief established attitudes of Western academia toward the Quran, especially as evidenced in the only extant multi-volume reference work on the Quran in English - Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Quran. The author exposes layers of centuries-old polemical literature against the Quran entrenched in putatively “rigorous and academic scholarship”, and underscores the need for Muslims to produce an alternate reference work on the Quran.
