  The Qur'an, in its use of allusions, depends on the Biblical knowledge of its audience. This book challenges the scholarly notion that the Qur'an must be interpreted through the medieval commentaries shaped by the biography of the prophet Muhammad, and argues that the text is best read in light of Christian and Jewish scripture.
