He specialized in the history of Islamic, Jewish, and Eastern philosophy. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1979 (wiki - link).

Petikan:

I (Oliver Leaman) have for a long time felt that it would be very helpful for there to be a reference work on the Quran an which is not enormous in size and written only for the specialist, and yet which is more substantial than some of the very short introductory works on the topic

It is the aim of this book to bridge that gap between the highly scholarly and technical text and the rather skimpy elementary books.
