Hidden origins of islam
#13
judge Wrote:The book appears to be related to The Inarah Otzenhauzen Conference On ???The Early History Of Islam And The Koran??? March 13-16, 2008.
If anyone reads German they might glean something from this

Shlama Akhi Judge:
Wow, what an excellent article. Just to give a sense of the conference, here is an excerpt for those interested in this topic.
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm/frm/19589/sec_id/19589">http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpag ... c_id/19589</a><!-- m -->

Finally, Christoph Luxenberg himself gave an impressive talk that seemed to untie some difficult knots that several centuries of both Islamic and Western scholarship had been unable to undo. He gave an original explanation of the so-called mysterious letters with which some Surahs commence. At the beginning of twenty nine suras following the bismillah stands a letter, or a group of letters which are simply read as separate letters of the alphabet.[5] Luxenberg suggested that they all had something to do with Syriac liturgical traditions. For instance, the letter TZADI at the beginning of Surah 38 indicates the number 90, referring to Psalm 90, while the letters A L R to be found at the beginning of Surahs 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 are a Syriac abbreviation meaning ???The Lord said to me.???
I would think that A.L.R. is the acronym/notaricon of [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]04dwqd 0xwr Yl rm0[/font] ...Amar..Li..Rukha d'kadusha ...The Holy Spirit spoke to me.

Shlama,
Stephen
