Prolegomena to the Study of Islam

Australian linguist, Islamicist and missionary Arthur Jeffery is among the very few scholars whose scholarship was genuinely ground-breaking. His critical analysis of the Qur'an revolutionized the discipline and continues to shape contemporary research. This previously unpublished volume of his teaching notes takes us into his classroom for a rich introduction to the study of Islam. It is an exemplary model of the sort of missionary scholarship we aspire to emulate here at MST. It deserves to be a classic.Dr Richard ShumackDirector, Arthur Jeffery Centre for the Study of Islam, Melbourne School of Theology
