A number of innovative hermeneutical approaches emerged in Muslim
exegetical discourse in the second half of the 20th century. Among
these developments is a trend of systematic reform theology that
emphasises a humanistic approach, whereby revelation is understood
to be dependent not only upon its initiator, God, but also upon its
recipient, Prophet Muhammad, who takes an active role in the
process. Ali Akbar examines the works of four noted scholars of
Islam: Fazlur Rahman (Pakistan), Abdolkarim Soroush (Iran),
Muhammad Mujtahed Shabestari (Iran) and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd
(Egypt). His study shows that the consequences of taking a
humanistic approach to understanding revelation are not confined to
the realm of speculation about God human relations, but also to
interpreting Qur'?nic socio-political precepts. And the four
scholars emerge as a distinctive group of Muslim thinkers who open
up a new horizon in contemporary Islamic discourse.
