I don’t think “stultingly” is a word. Does he mean “stultifyingly”?

There is one English translation of the Quran 31:18 that uses “stultingly” for a word other Arabic translators render as “in insolence” or “with pertness” or “exulting overmuch”.

This could be the intentional use of an obscure English word (translate google could not find a translation for “stult” so it is not common English).

Or this could be a typo for “stultifyingly”.

I mean, for a book whose cover ends up here, what are the odds?

The most interesting thing is the 3 crucifixes floating around the planet. Otherwise this could be the most boring cover (and book) in the universe.
