The Qur'an: An Encyclopedia

The Qur ) an:
an Encyclopedia
the objective of The Qur ) an: An Ency-
clopedia is to present this diversity of
thought, approach and school in order
to give a strong appreciation of the range
of response that the text has provoked
throughout its history. It provides students
and researchers with a powerful one-
volume resource covering all aspects of
the text and its reception.
Islam and the Qur ) an are much in the
news today and there is a public debate
going on in which things are said
about the Qur ) an without much knowl-
edge or understanding of the book.
Every effort has been made to help the
reader use the encyclopedia as an inves-
tigative tool in Qur ) anic studies. The
volume assumes no previous knowl-
edge of the Qur ) an, Islam or Arabic.
Technical terms are explained in the text
itself and the style of each entry is
designed to be as self-contained as pos-
sible. Entries are cross-referenced and
many include a brief bibliography. At the
end of the work there is a substantial
annotated bibliography providing a
detailed guide to the most significant
books, journals and articles in Qur ) anic
studies. Three comprehensive indexes
are included.
The readership will include those seek-
ing basic information on the Qur ) an; in
addition, the substantial number of longer
entries means that it will also be used by
specialists.
Oliver Leaman is Professor, Department
of Philosophy, University of Kentucky,
USA.
The Qur ) an is the source of inspiration
for one of the world’s major religions,
followed today by over a billion people.
It plays a central role in Islam and ever
since it appeared over fourteen centuries
ago has been the subject of intense
debate. Some of this has been carried out
by Muslims and some by those hostile
or indifferent to Islam, producing a very
wide range of views.
