'The Koran' is the name of a translation of the Qur'an written by John Medows Rodwell. It uses a chronological method of sorting verses in the Koran and is noticeably skeptical of Islam. Rodwell's translaton has not aged well with time and many find it inferior to other, more modern translations. However, in its time, the Rodwell version was considered to be accurate in spite of its faults. A century later, David Lean's 1962 film ''Lawrence of Arabia'' used the Rodwell translation in the episode in which Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) and Feisal (Alec Guiness) alternately recite verses from "The Brightness" ''surah''.
