The Qur'an's Self-Image by Daniel Madigan
Islam is frequently characterized as a 'religion of the book,' and yet Muslims take an almost entirely oral approach to their scripture. This book presents a semantic analysis of its self-awareness, arguing that the Qur'an understands itself not so much as a completed book, but as an ongoing process of divine 'writing' and 're-writing'.
"Madigan presents a welcome overview of modern Qur'an scholarship"--Choice "This is a well-researched and carefully thought out book on the highly complex issue of the Qur'an's self-referential terms to its own status as Scripture. Particularly illuminating are Daniel Madigan's clear and profound engagements with the semantic content of key Qur'anic words... [T]here is much food for thought here."--Ama Afsaruddin, American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
Daniel Madigan has taught Islamic studies in the United States and Australia. He is currently developing a center for the study of religions at the Jesuits' Gregorian University, Rome.
