Book on Quran's literary style

unknownuser

It seems WHSmith (UK) sells three for the price of two, so the one will cost ?60.00. (3 for ?180.00). Anyone for the share?

I'll buy one. ;D

Samia

I'll buy one. ;D

Now that's sorted out Rasul, Wakas and me. Who will do the buying? I can do it online or go tomorrow to the High Street.

Wakas

I bought mine on Abebooks, so I'm out.

It is best to wait anyway, until we see what the difference is, because his "Exploring The Quran" book has about 200 more pages and written later, so will likely be better, and it's only ?15.

Wakas

Author wasn't helpful.

I received my copy today. May take me a month or two to read it. I will let you know.

Wakas

So far it seems to be catered for an academic audience. If you are interested in linguistic and translation theory it is perfect. I just received "Exploring The Quran" by the same author and this seems better and only ?15. Will let you know.

Hello,
Are the books written by this author really interesting ?

Has someone read "Exploring The Qur?an" ?

It is heavy on linguistics and translation theory. I didn't find it that interesting, but it is ok.

I agree with Wakas. I see that it does more to indicate than educate.
