The Qur'an is God's verbatim speech for most traditional Muslims.
Qur'an in Conversation reflects how this sacred text of Islam comes
into dialogue with the contemporary world through the voices of the
eloquent interpreters gathered in this volume. In Qur'an in
Conversation, author Michael Birkel engages North American Muslim
religious leaders and academics in conversations of scriptural
interpretation. Scholars, practicing imams, and younger public
intellectuals wrestle with key suras of the Qur'an. Qur'an in
Conversation demonstrates a wide spectrum of interpretation and
diversity of approaches in reading Islam's scripture. The
discussions directly address key issues in Muslim theology--good
versus evil, the nature of God, and the future of Islam. Younger
North American Muslims read the Qur'an in varied ways; this is
analogous to the diverse ways in which Jews and Christians have
interpreted their own holy books. Michael Birkel welcomes people of
goodwill into a public conversation about the current role of
Western Muslims in Islam. Qur'an in Conversation encourages
non-specialists and Muslim scholars alike to imagine how the Qur'an
will be interpreted among North American Muslims in years to come.
A Spanish translation of Engaging Scripture: Reading the Bible with
