Beschreibung
There is much more to the Qur'an than the selective quotations favored by Islamic fundamentalists. This thoroughly revised third edition of The Qur'an: An Introduction provides an accessible yet scholarly guide to the many dimensions of Qur'anic study, designed for both Muslim and Western non-Muslim students alike. This comprehensive new edition reflects significant developments in Qur'anic scholarship since 2008 and features:
A new dedicated chapter exploring diverse Islamic theories of revelation and the concept of the Preserved Tablet
Expanded discussion on the history of the Qur'anic text, incorporating recent groundbreaking research
A broader, more nuanced examination of Orientalism's relationship with Qur'anic interpretation
A newly added chapter on prophets in the Qur'an and their significance
Thoroughly updated recommended readings reflecting contemporary scholarship
The book maintains its student-friendly approach with illustrative examples, clear summaries, helpful timelines, and a comprehensive glossary. It examines the Qur'an through Western academic perspectives while honoring the rich interpretive traditions that have evolved from the time of Prophet Muhammad to the present day. This essential guide bridges historical understanding with contemporary relevance, offering readers a balanced and thorough introduction to Islam's foundational text and its profound influence across centuries of religious thought.
