Koranforschung – eine politische Philologie?: Bibel, Koran und Islamentstehung im Spiegel spätantiker Textpolitik und moderner Philologie (Litterae et Theologia, 4) (German Edition)

In this book, renowned Islamic scholar Angelika Neuwirth presents key features of her course on ""The Koran as a Text of Late Antiquity."" The work transcends polarizing analyses and well-intentioned but superficial attempts to show commonalities, presenting instead the unique elements of the Koran while showing how it emerges from a common cultural space. Her analysis is an exemplary combination of philological precision and cultural sensitivity.
