How the Qur'an Works: Reading Sacred Narrative focuses on Qur'anic narrative, and specifically, repetition in Qur'anic stories. This book begins its analysis looking at repetition on a large scale-structure-and moves to a small scale-root letters. The book takes a journey through the Qur'an, often expansive, moving from one verse to another, one story to another, focusing on narratological elements while conducting a fine reading of Qur'anic material in order to understand how these techniques enhance a theological agenda. It helps us to better understand particular Qur'anic stories, Qur'anic literary style and Qur'anic theology.
