The Historical Development of the Quran

This volume contains the history of the development of the Qur’an, showing how its gradual formation was determined by the events of the Prophet’s life. Treated in this way, the Qur’an reveals his change of position towards the various classes of persons with whom he was brought into contact, and by the aptness of its injunctions, apologies, and denunciations, the reader is enabled to see how admirably this ‘piecemeal’ revelation was fitted to meet the requirements of Islam as they arose.
