Providing commentary on the controversial revisionist school of Qur''anic studies, this book explores the origins, scholarship and development of the Qur''an. The collection of articles, each written by a distinguished author, treat very familiar passages of the Qur''an in an original manner, combining thorough philology, historical anthropology, and cultural history.

This book addresses in a critical fashion the hottest issues in recent works on the Quran. Among other things, the contributors analyze the controversial theories of Luxenberg regarding Syriac and the Quran, and in particular his argument that the term Hur refers not to virgins but to grapes.
