Charging Steeds or Maidens Performing Good Deeds: In Search of the Original Qur'ān brings an important contribution to understanding the development of the Qur'ānic corpus.
Through a selection of meaningful case studies, the author convincingly argues for a different interpretative approach to the Qur'ānic text.
