Description: "The form criticism of the Qurʼan remains a desideratum. The present monograph fills this critical gap in Qurʼanic studies. Form criticism establishes a crucial link between life and literature by identifying formulae, examining forms, and determining settings. This carefully-crafted book explores the structural seams of the corpus coranicum and sheds light on the literary history of the Qurʼan"--back cover.
