Modern Interpretation of the Qur’an (inbunden, eng)

This book analyzes the distinguished modern Muslim scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi and the methodology of Qur''anic exegesis in his Risale-i Nur Collection, with special reference to the views of the early Muslim modernist intellectuals such as Muhammad ''Abduh.

It seeks to locate Nursi within modern Qur''anic scholarship, exploring the difference between Nursi''s reading of the Qur''an and that of his counterparts, and examines how Nursi relates the Qur''anic text to concerns of the modern period.
