The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran

More about the book

Using a critical philological method and a profound knowledge of several Oriental languages, the author sheds light on the true meanings of "dark" passages in the text of the Koran. Behind the pseudonym Luxenberg lies not a polemicist, but a rigorous philologist who has not sensationalized his research. His study, titled "The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran," contributes to the deciphering of the language of the Koran. The academic community has recognized the explosive implications of his philological discussions, with initial reactions reflecting sheer fear.
