Description

Is the Qur'ān the word of God, as it claims to be, or not? This question has endured for nearly fourteen centuries, with opposing answers taken by both sides as self-evident. The present work offers a comprehensive survey of considerations touching upon the textual, historical, sociological, philosophical, aesthetic, linguistic and experiential aspects to demonstrate that the question of the Qur'ān's revelatory status is a profoundly serious one.

Peter Samsel's work provides a detailed examination of the evidence and arguments that may be advanced to consider the Qur'ān's revelatory claims seriously. By exploring a range of disciplines, from linguistics to Christian theology, Samsel sheds light on the complexities of this enduring question.
