How does the Qur'an depict the religious 'other'? Historically,
this question has provoked extensive debate among Islamic scholars
about the identity, nature, and status of the religious 'other.'
Today, this debate assumes great importance because of the
pervasive experience of religious plurality, which prompts inquiry
into convergences and divergences in belief and practice as well as
controversy over appropriate forms of interreligious interaction.
The persistence of religious violence and oppression give rise to
difficult questions about the relationship between the depiction of
religious 'others,' and intolerance and oppression. Scholars have
traditionally accounted for the coexistence of religious similarity
and difference by resorting to models that depict religions as
isolated entities or by models that arrange religions in a static,
evaluative hierarchy. In response to the limitations of this
discourse, Jerusha Tanner Lamptey constructs an alternative
conceptual and hermeneutical approach that draws insights from the
work of Muslim women interpreters of the Qur'an, feminist theology,
and semantic analysis. She employs it to re-evaluate, re-interpret,
and re-envision the Qur'anic discourse on religious difference.
Through a close and detailed reading of the Qur'anic text, she
distinguishes between two forms of religious
difference-hierarchical and lateral. She goes on to explore the
complex relationality that exists among Qur'anic concepts of
hierarchical religious difference and articulates a new, integrated
model of religious pluralism.
