This is a study of one of the most important works of medieval commentary on the Qur'an which is still in use today, and an exploration of the nature of scriptural interpretation in Islam. "Bruce Fudge has interestingly explained the process and details of exegesis of the Qur'an. This work could be a fruitful resource for enthusiastic scholars who are keen to know more about the medieval exegesis in Islam and its significance in the progress of Muslim thought. Furthermore, the conclusion, indexes and notes of each chapters are worthy of special attention since they are a mine of information." - Majid Daneshgar, Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya; Journal of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
