Rodney Schofield traces the beginnings of Biblical and Qur'anic literature and attempts a reconstruction of their original settings.

The Death of Sacred Texts draws attention to a much neglected topic in the study of sacred texts: the religious and ritual attitudes towards texts which have become old and damaged and can no longer be used for reading practices and in religious worship.
