July 16– From the Quran translated by E. H. Palmer

24/7 Quran!

July 16– From the Quran translated by E. H. Palmer 

Summary: Mary and Elizabeth have kids, even though one's a virgin and one is old. And then lots of damnation.

Commentary: Good to see the Quran keeping up the "all damned; all the time" theme. I'm of two minds on this selection. On the one, picking the Christian section of the Quran feels a little bit like going to Mecca to order McDonalds. On the other, I guess picking a section that ties into something Eliot's intended audience already knows makes sense.
