It explores the rich oral culture that both predated and preceded the Qur'an's formative period, and shows that only by viewing the Qur'an through an oral lens can one begin to properly understand the process by which it first coalesced.Oral tradition in literatureQurʼan as literatureOrality in literatureArabic languageRhetoricOral tradition in literature.Qurʼan as literature.Orality in literature.Arabic languageRhetoric.297.1/22Bannister Andrew G.1972-1513972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790913903321An oral-formulaic study of the Qur'an3748771UNINA
