Qur'anic Studies Today - Routledge Studies in the Qur'an
Qur'?nic Studies Today brings together specialists in the field of Islamic studies to provide a range of essays that reflect the depth and breadth of scholarship on the Qur'?n.
Combining theoretical and methodological clarity with close readings of qur??nic texts, these contributions provide close analysis of specific passages, themes, and issues within the Qur??n, even as they attend to the disciplinary challenges within the field of qur??nic studies today. Chapters are arranged into three parts, treating specific figures appearing in the Qur??n, analysing particular suras, and finally reflecting on the Qur??n and its "others." They explore the internal dimensions and interior chronology of the Qur??n as text, its possible conversations with biblical and non-biblical traditions in Late Antiquity, and its role as scripture in modern exegesis and recitation. Together, they are indispensable for students and scholars who seek an understanding of the Qur??n founded on the most recent scholarly achievements.
Offering both a reflection of and a reflection on the discipline of qur??nic studies, the strong, scholarly examinations of the Qur??n in this volume provide a valuable contribution to Islamic and qur??nic studies.
