Translations and Perspectives
Series: - Texts and Studies on the QurʾÄn, Volume: 26
Editor:
This book brings together leading Muslim thinkersâfrom Egypt to Tunisia, Morocco, Iran, Turkey, to Indonesiaâoffering bold, diverse perspectives on how to interpret the QurʾÄn in a changing world. From gender justice and interfaith relations to critiques of tradition and modernity, these essays tackle urgent questions facing Muslim communities. Many appear here in English for the first time. Whether defending classical methods or proposing reformist approaches, each author engages deeply with the QurʾÄnâs meaning and relevance. A unique resource for students, scholars, and all who seek to understand contemporary QurʾÄnic hermeneutics from within the Muslim tradition.
Abdullah Saeed, PhD, is Sultan of Oman Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His research focuses on contemporary QurʾÄnic hermeneutics, with major works including Reading the Qurʾan in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge, 2013).
