Patricia Crone Quotes

Did The Latter[The Messenger] Have A Predecessor, Who Envisaged
revelation As Taking Place By Direct Contact With A Divine Being Rather Than By
a Book Being Sent Down (whether As A Whole Or In Instalments), Who Claimed
to Have Enjoyed Such Contact Himself And Who Objected To The Pagan Angels -
not Because They Violated The Dividing Line Between God And Created Beings
but Rather Because They Were Female? We Do Not Hear Of Such A Predecessor
elsewhere In The Quran, But We Do Learn That The Messenger Had Competitors In
his Own Time, At Least In Yathrib (2:79, Where They Share His Concept Of Revelation
as A Book), So There Is Nothing Implausible About The Proposition That There
were Preachers Before Him Too, Including Some Whose Preaching Anticipated
features Of His Own.
