"An impressive work. The question of the apparent 'self-referential' nature of the Qur'ân has been a focus of major concern for both Muslim scholars and contemporary academics. Daniel Madigan provides a corrective to a generally accepted supposition and an impetus for further thinking about the nature of 'scripture' in Islam."--Andrew Rippin, University of Victoria
"This book marks a major advance in studying the Qur'ân, early Islamic history, and Islam's self-understanding. It will be required reading not only for anyone wishing to work in the area of Qur'ânic studies but also for historians of the period of formative Islam. Daniel Madigan has grounded his conclusions in a cogent reading of the Qur'ân and other primary texts, and shows a sophisticated understanding of issues of revelation and prophecy."--Michael A. Sells, Haverford College
