📱 eBook en inglés NEW TRENDS IN QUR'ĀNIC STUDIES

The essays in this volume discuss recent trends and issues in the scholarly study of the Qurān and its exegesis. The last few years have witnessed an unprecedented development in quranic studies in terms of both the number of volumes that have been produced and the wide range of issues covered. It is not an exaggeration to say that the field of quranic studies today has become the crown of Islamic studies. In this book, scholars of diverse approaches critically engage with the Qurān and its exegesis, including questions about the milieu in which the Qurān emerged, the Qurāns relation to the biblical tradition, its chronology, textual integrity, and its literary features. In addition, this volume addresses recent scholarship on tafsīr (quranic exegesis), including thematic interpretation, diacronic and syncronic readings of the Qurān. Various approaches to understanding the Muslim scripture with or without tafsīr are also discussed.
