Yet the text itself can be difficult to understand, and the scholarship devoted to it is often highly technical. This comprehensive introduction to the basic methods and current state of historical-critical Qur'anic scholarship covers all of the field's major questions, such as: Where and when did the Qur'an emerge? How do Qur'anic surahs function as literary compositions? How do the Qur'an's main themes and ideas relate to and transform earlier Jewish and Christian traditions?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReading this book will give you the tools needed to work with and understand this vital but complex text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolai Sinai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0748695761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748695768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Nicolai Sinai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169668493567,"sku":"9780748695768","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d54616df-417e-4244-b7c2-e3d56ce38956.jpg?v=1689654237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quran-nicolai-sinai-9780748695768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
