{"product_id":"the-composition-of-the-quran-michel-cuypers-9781350008052","title":"The Composition of the Qur'an","description":"The text of the Qur'an appears to many to be desperately muddled and lacking any coherence. \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eComposition of the Qur'an\u003c\/i\u003e provides a systematic presentation of the writing processes (or rhetoric) and argues that there is indeed a coherence to the Qur'anic text. Michel Cuypers shows that the ancient Semitic texts, of which the Qur'an is a part, do not obey the Greek rhetoric and that their basic principle is therefore not progressive linearity, but symmetry which can take several forms, following precise rules. He argues that the knowledge of this rhetorical code allows for a radically new analysis of the structure and rhetoric of the Qur'an. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing copious amounts of examples from the text, \u003ci\u003eThe Composition of the Qur'an\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new theoretical synthesis of Qur'anic rhetoric as well as a methodology for their application in further exegesis. A landmark publication in the field of Qur'anic Studies, this volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Islamic Studies, Religious Studies and Arabic Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Cuypers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350008052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350008052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Michel Cuypers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924998979839,"sku":"9781350008052","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_70c66db1-0360-4b94-8497-6774bbc18454.jpg?v=1681074723","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-composition-of-the-quran-michel-cuypers-9781350008052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
