First, I show how the Qurʾān displays a solidly built argumentation leading to two apparently paradoxical ideas: praise of the high status of the previous scriptures as authentically revealed by God and implicit but strong disqualification of these same scriptures as having been altered. From this, I argue that the idea of taḥrīf of the Bible developed in the mind of readers/listeners of the Qurʾān as the logical way to join the two sides of this paradox. Moreover, the goal of the ‘praise-and-disqualification’ discourse in the Qurʾān was designed to convey an authoritative status for the Qurʾān itself—a process that implies, precisely, this dual position towards the Bible.

Far from being a flat text, the Qurʾān uses carefully chosen vocabulary, rhetorical tools and argumentation to direct the image that listeners or readers will then have in mind. A close analysis of its self-referential vocabulary shows that the Qurʾān describes itself as a Scripture “in a Judeo-Christian style” which communicative function is stressed. By a triple discourse (on divine actions, on previous Scriptures such as the Bible and on prophethood), the Qurʾān grants itself the monopoly of divine authority through revelation and pushes the listener/reader into a decisive submission.
