A. J. Droge is the translator of The Qur’an: A New Annotated Translation (Equinox, 2013), and the author of Homer or Moses? Early Christian Interpretations of the History of Culture and A Noble Death: Suicide and Martyrdom among Christians and Jews in Antiquity (with J.D. Tabor).

Description

Offers some general reflections on the nature of translation (what is has been, what it can be, and what I think it should be), as well as on translation practice (free vs. literal, rhyme vs. reason, domestication vs. estrangement), before addressing the particular problems involved in translating the Qur’ān.
