Recensioner i media

"Williams is to be congratulated for drawing attention to the so far neglected Ibn Kathīr, and her book nicely complements the recent work of Younus Mirza (2013 and 2014). One interesting point Williams highlights is Ibn Kathīr’s failure to comply with the Taymiyyan exegetical method he sets out to embrace."Caterina Bori, Università di Bologna, Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations
