Recensioner i media

Cet ouvrage a le mérite de proposer des réflexions stimulantes et d'ouvrir des débats originaux et novateurs pour les études sur le Coran et les débuts de l'islam, contribution fort appréciable, dans un domaine où de nombreux travaux, loin d'ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles, ont plutôt tendance à fermer dogmatiquement des portes.- Guillaume Dye, Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Bulletin critique des Annales islamologiques, No. 36 (2022)
