The position of the Qur'an as the central symbol and reference
point of Islam cannot be disputed. Despite this significance, the
academic study of the Qur'an has lagged far behind that of the
Bible. In these studies Andrew Rippin reflects upon both the
principles and the problems of studying the Qur'an within the
discipline of religious studies. He also pursues detailed
investigations of the meaning of variants to the text and the
history of Muslim interpretation of the text in its diversity. A
newly written introduction lays out some of the general
implications of these studies, while extensive indexes of Qur'anic
verses, books, authors and topics make this research more readily
accessible.
