'It would make a valuable addition to academic libraries seving Islamic studies.' - Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
'It is a significant contribution to the debate on the compatibility and relationship of Islam with the topoi of globalization, modernity, and identity, and it is a necessary item in the shelf of any library and indeed for all those interested in informed discourse on how religion continues to defy the thesis of modern secularism which predicts the recession of religion to the background or the private sphere in an increasingly globalized world.' - Amidu Olalekan Sanni; Journal of Oriental and African Studies, Volume 19, 2010, pp. 397-400.
