The Quran - Epic and Apocalypse (Paperback)

Suppose our knowledge of the Quran began only recently with the
discovery of mysterious scrolls in a desert cave. Suppose there was
no Islamic history and no Muslim community to help us understand
this book. Is it conceivable, then, that we might mistake it for
the central text of a long-vanished apocalyptic community whose
ideas about the next world, colourful and extraordinary as they
appear, nonetheless make perfect sense in the context of the most
pervasive literary genre of late antiquity, the epic? How do people
understand the Quran to be divine revelation? What is it about this
book that inspires such devotion in the reader/believer? Grounding
his approach in the universal power of story and myth, Todd Lawson
provides a unique appreciation of the unparalleled status and
unique charisma of the Quran as a religious text and monument of
world literature.
