An Islamic model of revelation

Many Arabists have believed that the traditional Islamic dogmas about the nature and status of divine inspiration and revelation are mistaken, unaccountably rigid and intellectually crude. I examine Kenneth Cragg's critique of the ancient Muslim confidence about the Qur'an as the literal W...

520 |a Many Arabists have believed that the traditional Islamic dogmas about the nature and status of divine inspiration and revelation are mistaken, unaccountably rigid and intellectually crude. I examine Kenneth Cragg's critique of the ancient Muslim confidence about the Qur'an as the literal Word of God undiluted by human linguistic and mental variables external to its divine origin. I argue that Cragg's worries are idle and that his proposed model is based on a confusion between the genesis of scripture and the interpretation of its claims. His views about qur'anic exegesis are shown to be erroneous and guided by considerations other than those professed. The paper concludes with an assessment of the strengths of the traditional dogmatic position.
