New Perspectives on the Qur’an

In this book, which continues the work of The Qur 'an in Its Historical Context, an international group of scholars address an expanded range of topics on the Qur' an and its origins, looking beyond medieval Islamic traditions to present the Qur' an's own conversation with the religions and literatures of its day. Particular attention is paid to recent debates and ~ontroversies in the field, and to uncovering the Qur'an's relationship with Judaism and Christianity. After a foreword by Abdolkarim Soroush, chapters by renowned experts cover:
