Book Synopsis
Leyla Ozgur Alhassen approaches the Qur'an as a literary, religious and oral text to show how Qur'anic stories function as narrative: how characters and dialogues are portrayed; what themes are repeated; what verbal echoes and conceptual links are present; what structure is established; and what beliefs these narrative choices strengthen.

Trade Review
"By directing readers' attention to the Qur'an's narrative strategies for building relationships within and between some of its most important surahs, Ozgur Alhassen makes a welcome contribution to the growing number of studies focusing on the Qur'an's sophisticated rhetorical choices." -Shawkat M. Toorawa, Yale University
