| Abstract
|
:
|
In response to the long held view that the Qur'anic narrative is disjointed, this study supports the assertion that the Qur'an is a unified literary work. This dissertation aims to illustrate that the recurring prophetic stories and characters weave the Qur'anic text together. Along with prophecy, the central topics of the Qur'an are monotheism, Day of Judgment, and the covenant. However, prophecy is more crucial for understanding and unifying the Qur'an because the text uses the topic of prophecy both to introduce and to explain the other central topics.
