Book Summary
Orthodox Muslims venerate the Koran as the sacred word of God, which they
believe was literally revealed by dictation from the angel Gabriel to the
prophet Muhammad. This fundamentalist attitude toward the Muslim holy book
denies the possibility of error in the Koran -- even though there are some
fairly obvious self-contradictions, inconsistencies, and incoherent passages in
the text. To justify the claim that the Koran is inerrant, the orthodox have
simply pointed to centuries of hidebound tradition and the consensus view of
conservative leaders who back up this interpretation. But does the very
beginning of the Muslim tradition lend support to the orthodox view?
