Rethinking Quranic Studies by William Al-Sharif > About the Book | Contact the author
Rethinking Quranic Studies proposes a critical methodology in the academic field of Quranic studies based on human and social sciences. This is not only to examine the Quranic discourse and the effects of its meanings, but also to evaluate the validity of human and social sciences when they are applied to the Quranic phenomenon.
The book also suggests that a rational rethinking of the Quranic discourse is a prerequisite for the liberation of ‘Muslim societies’ from closed dogmatism that nourishes self-righteousness, exclusion and violence in the name of religion.
This is a lucid and brilliant book that encourages students of religion to expand their research and engage in discussions about the Quran, Islam and the religious phenomenon.
