Gabriel Said Reynolds is professor of Islamic studies and theology at Notre Dame and the author of The Qur'an and the Bible. He lives in Granger, IN.
"An objective and nuanced portrayal of Allah. Understanding His
seemingly paradoxical attributes is crucial to mapping out the
powerful religious energy Islam has introduced into human
history.”—Mustafa Akyol, author of The Islamic Jesus
"A masterful examination of the Qur'anic conception of
God--Allah--with illuminating comparisons to the Hebrew Bible and
the Gospels, and rich insights into many aspects of the Islamic
tradition as it deals with the Qur'an."—Fred M. Donner, author of
Muhammad and the Believers
“In this groundbreaking and thoughtful reflection on
Allah, Gabriel Reynolds's masterful examination of the Qur'an,
Bible, and medieval sources is delivered in plain English. His
references to contemporary debates on the mercy and wrath of God
make this book an informative and exciting read.”—Emran El-Badawi,
University of Houston
“Skillfully unraveling the literary and theological threads that
bind the Qur’an to the Bible, Gabriel Reynolds has produced a
well-written, insightful, and accessible introduction to major
themes of Islamic religious thought. He shows how the Qur’anic God
is not a different God but one who is differently depicted and
understood.”—Jane McAuliffe, founding editor of
the Encyclopaedia of the Qur'ān
“A book as brilliant as it is subtle: a study of the God revealed
to the world by Muhammad which is simultaneously a close critical
reading of a complex and contradictory character in a work of
literature.”—Tom Holland, author of In the Shadow of the
Sword
