The Qur'an in Its Time

This collection brings together groundbreaking scholarship that locates the formation of the Qur'an in the religious and historical environment of late antique Arabia. Such research suggests that there is a path to modernity within Islam that sees 'Western' intellectual modernity as compatible with the faith revealed by Prophet Muhammad. The contributors include academics and journalists such as Moncef Ben Abdeljelil, Angelika Neuwirth and Francois Zabbal.
