The author examines three 20th/21st century Muslims' accounts of
reading the Quran. To master contemporary social challenges, Fazlur
Rahman (d. 1988), Muhammad Arkoun (d. 2010), and Nasr Hamid Abu
Zayd (d. 2010) call for revisiting the Islamic heritage, plus a
fresh look onto the Quranic 'spirit'. The investigation leads
through following concepts: the nature of the Quran, revelation and
prophecy, the role of Muhammad and Prophethood. Discoursing the
philosophers' reform ideas leads to an analysis of their exegetical
methods. Do the proposed Quran hermeneutics support their reform
projects? This book uncovers pros and cons of these
socio-intellectual innovations. It finally concludes: the thinkers'
scholarly and philosophical attitude exposes itself as a humanistic
endeavour.
