Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

William A Graham, a leading international scholar in the field of
Islamic Studies, gathers together his selected writings under three
sections: 1.History and Interpretation of Islamic Religion; 2.The
Qur'an as Scripture, and 3. Scripture in the History of Religion.
Each section opens with a new introduction by Graham, and a
bibliography of his works is included. Graham's work in Islamic
studies focuses largely on the analysis and interpretation of the
religious dimensions of ritual action, scriptural piety, textual
authority/revelation, tradition, and major concepts, such as grace
and transcendence. His work in the comparative history of religion
has focused in particular on the 'problem' of scripture as a
cross-cultural religious phenomenon that is more complex than
simply 'sacred text'. This invaluable resource will be of primary
interest to students of the Islamic tradition, especially as
regards Qur'anic piety, Muslim 'ritual' practice, and fundamental
structures of Islamic thought, and to students of the comparative
history of religion, especially as regards the phenomenon of
'scripture' and its analogs.
The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration
of religions as social systems- both in Western and non-Western
societies; in particular, it examines religions in their
differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural
systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is
given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a
clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical
data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the
religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or
media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their
construction of identity, and their relation to society and the
wider public are key issues of this series.
