Examining claims about the Qur’an
Peter Samsel’s book brings several kinds of inquiry to bear on the Qur’an’s claim to divine revelation. Its survey ranges across textual and historical questions, sociological and philosophical perspectives, and linguistic, aesthetic, and experiential approaches. Traditional and contemporary views are considered alongside ancient sources and scientific studies, giving the discussion a comparative structure. The central question is whether the Qur’an is the word of God, treated here through multiple lines of examination rather than a single disciplinary lens.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- For readers interested in Qur’anic studies and debates about revelation.
- For those seeking a cross-disciplinary survey of traditional and contemporary perspectives on the Qur’an.
