Few books in history have been as important or as poorly understood as the Qur'an. Sent down in a series of revelations to the Prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an is the unmediated word of Allah: a ritual, political, and legal authority, an ethical and spiritual guide, and a literary masterpiece. It is revered by Muslims throughout the world, in whom it inspires devotion, passion...moreOver the past few years, I have read about a dozen popular books on the Hebrew Bible. All or almost all of the authors are Jews; one is a convert to Judaism; yet they are not fundamentalists. In their books, they explain why scholars now think that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible were written not by a single person at once, but by different people over centuries in different dialects of Hebrew; that the story of the Exodus is wildly anachronistic, and is supported by absolutely no arche...moreThis book was downright aggravating. The author basically told of the origins of the Koran and all it's beginnings. What was irritating was the attempt at making an idiotic religion based as much around violence as anything else seem like it was in fact a good thing. He managed to strategically leave out pretty much all of the details that make Islam look bad. When the author did put in any information that could cast Islam in a negative light he made his best attempt to apologetically explain i...moreI read this book to give myself some background in the history of the Koran (Qur’an) before reading it. I would never read the Koran (Qur’an) on my own, but a book discussion group I belong to selected it for reading. This book, (The Qur'an: A Biography) kept using terms and expressions that were unfamiliar to me. I was expecting a biography to explain things better and not create needless additional questions.A good collection of a wide range of references for interested people to investigate further. Obviously the first few chapters are very familiar to most Muslims, later chapters discuss a lot of different perspectives, and views and interpretations of various scholars. Not surprisingly, the name of Osama Bin-Laden seemed light to some readers, but it was an example how anything can be used out of context to fool people. Overall, I find this books is a good index of topics for more readings.Why i read this book? First, is because i have to translate this book into Indonesian. Yup, i'm the translator of this book in Indonesia.
This book told us about how Western's scholar think about this holy book of Islam. It summarize how moslem interpret they own holy book, which is so different from one moslem with another.
If you want to know deeper about Islam and its Qur'an, please read this book and be fun with it :)
I was looking for an exegetic historical explanation of the Qur'an. This is not it. It addresses the current concerns about Islam as a violent religion in its preface and throughout, but it only addresses the 'ideal' as opposed to the schools of thought. Overall I learned something, even if predigested, about the family of The Prophet. This is not a book for historical understanding. Yes, the Quran is a book that shook the world. But THIS book by Bruce Lawrence, well, it won't move the world a whit. Not even ruffle any feathers at that.
Sorry Mr. Lawrence, your book had no impact. It didn't even live up to the title of being a biography. As an introduction to the Quran, your book fails abyssmally.
