This book takes a comprehensive look at the ways in which Muslims
interpret the Qur'an today and at the themes and structural
conditions that shape their engagement with their sacred scripture.
Muslim Qur'anic interpretation Today includes boldly innovative
approaches as well as staunchly traditional ones. They are
represented and performed in all types of media and target a wide
variety of audiences. The book aims at making sense of these
diverse phenomena by combining an analytical overview of the field
with detailed case studies of exegetical texts and media from the
2000s and 2010s. The first part offers a comprehensive introductory
survey of the field of contemporary Muslim Qur'anic interpretation.
It provides a fresh perspective on present-day discourses by
emphasising the historical, social, and political dimensions in
which they take place. The second part presents samples from recent
exegetical works that exemplify larger themes such as media,
interpretive methods, and the diversity of the global Muslim
community. Commentaries on the texts and their authors help to
contextualise the samples and highlight core themes and features of
contemporary exegetical debates. Taken together, the two parts of
the book can be read as a spotlight on Muslim Qur'anic
interpretation in a specific period of time, a time of great
challenges and tremendous social transformations, some of them
obvious and some of them rarely noted.
