Abstract

Gabriel Reynolds' "A Critical Introduction to the Quran" stands as a significant contribution to Qur'anic scholarship, employing historical-critical methods to explore the text's origins, composition, and literary features. This article critically examines the book, analyzing its strengths in challenging traditional interpretations, its engagement with revisionist schools, and its contributions to understanding the Quran within its historical context. However, it also highlights potential limitations, including critiques of its methodology and its implications for Muslim understandings of the Quran's divine origins. Ultimately, Reynolds' work sparks vital conversations about the Qur'an's multifaceted nature, urging readers to engage with the text critically while respecting its profound significance within Islamic tradition.
