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[citation needed]. Rodwell's translation has not aged well with time and many[weasel words] find it inferior to other, more modern translations.[citation needed]
However, in its time, the Rodwell version was considered[by whom?] 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 Guinness) alternately recite verses from what Rodwell calls "The Brightness" sura (Ad-Dhuha).
