Quran Photo Biography

Over 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 archeological evidence; that the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible comes from manuscripts written about 1000 CE, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are far older, are sometimes textually closer to the Septuagint. I wanted to read a similar book about the Quran: how do we know its text, how confident we are in that it was actually dictated by Muhammed, what the retellings of the Biblical stories in it show about its composition. However, this is the worst book to use for this purpose. The first part talks about the composition of the Quran. It sticks closely to the traditional Muslim narrative, never once deviating from it, or asking whether it is accurate. The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem has some inscriptions that are similar but not identical to the accepted Quranic text; a reasonable interpretation of this is that they were made from a copy of the text that was similar but not identical to the canonical one; yet Lawrence says that they are examples of drawing upon the text for rhetorical purposes, which amplifies the text but not challenges or changes it. Later parts talk about different interpreters of the Quran; a 19th century Indian Muslim scholar found verses in the Quran that he claimed supported the abolition of slavery; what Lawrence doesn't mention is that this interpretation was shared by few Muslims; Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman had slavery well into the 1960s. (less)This 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 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.
