Approaches to the Qur'an in Contemporary Iran explores the
importance of the Qur'an in the religious, artistic, political, and
intellectual discourses in modern and contemporary Iran from the
nineteenth century to the present. The chapters included in the
volume have been written by some of the most authoritative
specialists in the modern history of Iran. Their contributions span
a wide range of subjects and themes, covering such varied ground as
the examination of the trends in Qur'anic exegesis that are
currently prominent in Iran, the use of Qur'anic themes in
contemporary Iranian cinema, the concept of revelation as the basis
of diverse political trends in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sufi
mystical interpretations of the Qur'an the use of the Qur'an in the
arts, the Qur'an as a living scripture in specific intellectual and
social circles, and case studies of individual intellectuals.
Through this wide-ranging survey, the book aims to become a
reference for anyone interested in the Qur'an's imprint on the
religious, political, cultural, and anthropological history of
modern and contemporary Iranian society. The maps serve to situate
the reader geographically and a careful selection of photographs
bring a flavour of Iranian religious culture during this period.
