Among the many challenges of translating the Qur'an are its
unpredictable complexity, evocative associativity, and polysemy.
For these reasons, as well as more demanding theological ones, most
translations cut, compress, paraphrase, and invent freely. In this
meticulously crafted translation of the Qur'an, A.J. Droge takes a
different approach by revealing the Qur'an's distinctive idiom in a
rendition that strives to remain as close as possible to the way it
was expressed in Arabic. His goal has been to make the translation
literal to the point of transparency, as well as to maintain
consistency in the rendering of words and phrases, and even to
mimic word order wherever possible. Originally published in 2013 in
an edition with annotations, commentary and other scholarly
apparatus, Droge's widely praised translation is presented here as
a stand-alone text, with a new introduction, ideal for students and
general readers alike.
