Saleh is a specialist on the Qur’an\, the history of its interpretation (Tafsir)\, the Arabic manuscript tradition\, Islamic apocalyptic literature\, and the Muslim reception of the Bible. His first book The Formation of the Classical Tafsir Tradition (Brill\, 2004) was the first monograph length study of al-Thalabi (d. 1035) and his influence in the history of Qur’an commentary tradition.  His second monograph\, In Defense of the Bible (Brill\, 2008)\, is a detailed study and an edition of al-Biqa`i’s (d. 1480) Bible treatise\, “The Just Verdict on the Permissibility of Quoting from Old Scriptures\,” which is the most extensive discussion of the place of the Bible in the Islamic religious tradition. \nProfessor Saleh is the editor of the Routledge Qur’an Series. He is also on the editorial board of Journal of the American Academy of Religion\, and the Journal of Qur’anic Studies. \n
