The Qur'an's Self-Image: Writing and Authority in Islam's Scripture

Islam is frequently characterized as a 'religion of the book,' and yet Muslims take an almost entirely oral approach to their scripture. This book presents a semantic analysis of its self-awareness, arguing that the Qur'an understands itself not so much as a completed book, but as an ongoing process of divine 'writing' and 're-writing'.
