This book continues the work of The Qur'an in its Historical
Context, in which an international group of scholars address an
expanded range of topics on the Qur'an and its origins, looking
beyond medieval Islamic traditions to present the Qur'an's own
conversation with the religions and literatures of its day.
Particular attention is paid to recent debates and controversies in
the field, and to uncovering the Qur'an's relationship with Judaism
and Christianity. After a foreword by Abdolkarim Soroush, chapters
by renowned experts cover: method in Qur'anic Studies analysis of
material evidence, including inscriptions and ancient manuscripts,
for what they show of the Qur'an's origins the language of the
Qur'an and proposed ways to emend our reading of the Qur'an how our
knowledge of the religious groups at the time of the Qur'an's
emergence might contribute to a better understanding of the text
the Qur'an's conversation with Biblical literature and traditions
that challenge the standard understanding of the holy book. This
debate of recent controversial proposals for new interpretations of
the Qur'an will shed new light on the Qur'anic passages that have
been shrouded in mystery and debate. As such, it will be a valuable
reference for scholars of Islam, the Qur'an, Christian-Muslim
relations and the Middle East.
