<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Renowned author Kenneth Cragg examines the questions What happens in the Qur'an? in this uniquely comprehensive, scholarly, and historical study.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The separate events of Islamic scripture are not difficult to chronicle, but what kind of event does the whole of the Qur'an represent? How should we understand the coming together of a charismtic personality, poetic eloquence, developing Arab consciousness, and a vibrant longing for God, into the single phenomenon of the Qur'an? What is the inner story of the prophethood that Islam regards as God's final revelation for humanity? How did geographical setting, culture and traditions enter into the Qur'an's metaphors and shape its message? These questions are examined in this study of Islam in scripture.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kenneth Cragg</b> was a distinguished scholar of Islamic and Christian Studies, whose many books on the world of Islam, the Middle East and interfaith themes became classics in their field. He was also the translator of four Arabic works into English, including <i>City </i><i>of Wrong </i>(also published by Oneworld). Bishop Cragg obtained his doctorate at Oxford University, and served in academic and ecclesiastical posts in Jerusalem, Beirut, Cairo, Nigeria and the USA.
