Brannon Wheeler is Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Comparative Religion at the University of Washington in Seattle where he is also coordinator of the new programme in Comparative Islamic Studies. He has published widely on Quranic Studies and Islamic Law with particular focus on the evolution of Islam in late antiquity and the early medieval world of the Mediterranean and Near East.
"This book is a most welcome addition to the relatively limited
number of works that mediate the primary sources of early Islamic
tradition to English-speaking audiences. By concentrating on the
central Qur'anic theme of God prophets and messengers from Adam to
Muhammad, it offers a rich but focused selection of original
passages from both the Qur'an itself and other early Islamic texts.
Selected and translated with thoughtfulness and care, the contents
are accessible to beginning students in conjunction with secondary
literature on the Qur'an and early Islam; the collection can serve
also as a useful quick-reference handbook for scholars interested
in the treatment of a particular prophetic figure in the Qur'an and
early Muslim interpretation."--William A. Graham, Professor of the
History of Religion and Islamic Studies, Harvard University
"[a] useful and accessible tool to understanding Muslim exegesis."
--Middle East Journal, Winter 2003
