Der Koran in seinem interreligiösen Gestaltungsprozess

The Quran is often considered a difficult book to understand. What does it say, and what is its significance? This fascinating presentation explores the religious depth of the process by which the Quran was formed. In the context of Judaism and Christianity in the 7th century, its provisions, stories, poetic structure and profound formation become as vivid and comprehensible as the different perspectives of the three religions. Anyone wanting to gain access to the Quran, whether for academic, interreligious or personal reasons, will benefit from these explanations.
