This path-breaking book sets aside the traditional story of the
life of Muhammad, and inquires into the internal history of the
Qur'an itself. Drawing on fresh insights from linguistics and
theology, Durie puts forward a new and very different explanation
for the "Mecca-Medina" division, attributing it to a theological
crisis which arose in the Qur'anic community. Through careful
investigation of theologically charged topics such as prophecy,
Satan, sin, the oneness of God, covenant, warfare, divine presence,
and holiness, Durie questions whether the Qur'an and Bible really
do share a deeper connection. He invites the reader to set aside
the frames through which the Qur'an has been viewed in the past,
whether Biblical or Islamic, and invites us to attend to the
Qur'an's distinctive and unique theological vision, in its own
terms.
