This compilation for an English-speaking readership of writing by
Muslim intellectuals demonstrates the variety of ways in which the
Qur'an is studied in contemporary Indonesia, the world's most
populous Muslim country. The thirteen essays come from established
and emerging scholars and address topics such as new methods of
approaching the Qur'an, Islamic law reform, human rights,
inter-faith relations, the struggle by women for equal rights, and
the use or misuse of Qur'anic symbols. They reflect the interests
and approaches of a new generation of Indonesian Muslim scholars
who seek guidance from the religious texts within a contemporary
context. The writings represent a creative effort to project new
ideas and to affirm that Islam and the Qur'an are in a broad sense
compatible with the aspirations of Indonesian Muslims today. This
volume of essays is the first to demonstrate the variety of
scholarship on the Qur'an in the English language.
