Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur’ān
In recent years, the Qur'ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating th…
Reflections on the work of John Wansbrough
At least some of the negative reactions to and neglect of Wansbrough's work is due to the breadth of his erudition and the turgidity of his style.

Some Recent Literature on Pakistan
In the years since the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 and the creation there of two independent states, India and Pakistan, a vast amount of scholarly attention has been devoted to the area, its peoples, its problems, and its development. The greater part of this attention, however, has focused upon India and continues to do so. It is perhaps natural that such should be the case: India is much the larger of the two states, has the g…
