The Qur'an - Translated with a New Introduction - A.J. Droge

A.J. Droge [+-]
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

This sūra offers instruction on a variety of topics (e.g., prayer, pilgrimage, and food), and prescribes punishment for certain offenses (e.g., murder and theft). Several passages condemn various ‘pagan’ practices, but many more are critical of Jewish disobedience and Christian doctrine, and believers are warned against entering into alliance with the ‘People of the Book.’ Q5 receives its title from the miraculous ‘table’ of food sent down to Jesus and his disciples (Q5.111–115).
