"Major Themes of the Qur'an" is Fazlur Rahman's introduction to
one of the richest texts in the history of religious thought. In
this classic work, Rahman unravels the Qur'an's complexities on
themes such as God, society, revelation, and prophecy with the deep
attachment of a Muslim educated in Islamic schools and the clarity
of a scholar who taught for decades in the West.
"Generations of scholars have profited from Rahman's] pioneering
scholarly work by taking the questions he raised and the directions
he outlined to new destinations."--Ebrahim Moosa, from his new
foreword
"The religious future of Islam and the future of interfaith
relationship . . . will be livelier and saner for the sort of
Quranic centrality which "Major Themes of the Qur'an" exemplifies
and serves."--Kenneth Cragg, "Middle East"" Journal"
"There shines through a] rare combination of balanced scholarly
judgment and profound personal commitment. . . . Rahman is] eager
to open up the mysteries of the Qur'an to a shrinking world sorely
in need of both moral regeneration and better mutual
understanding."--Patrick D. Gaffney, "Journal of Religion"
"I can't think of any book more important, still, than "Major
Themes of the Qur'an.""--Michael Sells, author of "Approaching the
Qur'an"
