莱斯利.黑泽尔顿：读可兰经

Popular notions like the promise of 72 virgins misrepresent the Koran, which actually describes paradise as gardens watered by running streams, mentioned 36 times. Deep reading reveals a text more subtle and flexible than its reputation, with verses that include both men and women and even environmental stewardship. The original Arabic carries hypnotic rhythms and meaning that get lost in translation. Many supposed certainties, such as the number of virgins, do not appear in the text and result from later interpretation.
