A review of " religious pluralism" in Leiden Encyclopedia of the Quran

The first part of the paper offers briefly the translation of the very entry. The second part deals with the content and structure of the entry. However, the writers initiated the topic with a neat etymology of the Quranic vocabularies but their work is undermined of the following structural lapses: a prelude lengthier than the real body of the discussion, showing tendency toward particular religious groups, lacking scientific objectivity in numerous cases, taking relative pluralism for guaranteed and criticizing the Quranic teachings with these concepts. From the content voice, this article suffers the following points: having less profundity in cognition of the Quranic vocabularies, introducing the Quran as a vague text, having no precise comprehension of the Quranic account on pluralism and neglecting the pluralistic aspects in its accurate Quranic sense. The writer touches all these points and remarks in his paper.
