"No matter if you wanted to substitute some synonyms here
and there, it seems pretty clear that the Bible is given some kind of
qualified/limited approval while the Quran is spoken of in different,
and higher terms."
Yes, I'm not arguing that point.
"If the Quran is picked apart by higher criticism then the distinction
between the Bible and the Quran would disappear, which clearly
violates the intention of the Guardian's words."
Not necessarily. Nor do I think a scholar can avoid applying methods to one
scripture they would not apply to another. But I think at the end of the day
we will find that the Qur'an still has a single author. The same can never
be said for the Bible. That doesn't mean we won't find any errors in
transmission whatsoever. As I said, I don't think that is true even of our
own scriptures.
warmest, Susan
