Michael Sells: Reviews of His Books

"Michael Sells is to be congratulated for making a major contribution to religious literature with Approaching the Qur'án, the best version of Muslim scriptures available in English. This is an important and illuminating work, one that will be welcomed by scholars, students, believers, and all who seek to better understand Islam and its sacred scripture."
-- Carl Ernst, professor of Islamic studies at UNC-Chapel Hill and author of The Shambhala Guide to Sufism
