Reviews
The Mind of the Qur’an is the second of two books written by Bishop Kenneth Cragg during a period of study as a Bye-Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. The first book, ‘The Event of the Qur’an’, relates the content of the Qur’an to its temporal context in order to understand how the Qur’an could have transformed ‘a heathen Arab society of the seventh century into the first generation of Muslims’ (1971:15). The second book, which is the subject of this review, show more outlines the contours of a sympathetic reading of the Qur’an as experienced by a Muslim who memorises, reads and recites the Qur’an in order to worship God. show less
Studies the relationship between Islam and Christianity.
The author was brought together a collection of prayers and other passages from writers of both face which share the common elements and kindred themes in Muslim and Christian prayer.
Select passages from the Qur'an arranged according to subject. Nothing fancy.
