Le contre-discours coranique

This book deals with a prominent literary element of the Koran, the 'counter-discourse', the citations of opposing voices. This feature of the Koranic text has been neglected in earlier scholarship although it is connected to the larger question of the religious milieu in which the Koran emerged. Accordingly, the topic is of considerable importance to our understanding of Islamic origins.
