Among these developments is a trend of systematic reform theology that emphasises a humanistic approach, whereby revelation is understood to be dependent not only upon its initiator, God, but also upon its recipient, Prophet Muhammad, who takes an active role in the process. Ali Akbar examines the works of four noted scholars of Islam: Fazlur Rahman (Pakistan), Abdolkarim Soroush (Iran), Muhammad Mujtahed Shabestari (Iran) and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (Egypt). His study shows that the consequences of taking a humanistic approach to understanding revelation are not confined to the realm of speculation about God-human relations, but also to interpreting Qur'anic socio-political precepts. And the four scholars emerge as a distinctive group of Muslim thinkers who open up a new horizon in contemporary Islamic discourse." -- provided by publisher, back cover 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Rahman, Fazlur,|d1919-1988.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80082560 600 10 Surūsh, ʻAbd al-Karīm.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79067367 600 10 Mujtahid Shabistarī, Muḥammad.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/nr97035736 600 10 Abū Zayd, Naṛr Ḥāmid. 600 17 Rahman, Fazlur,|d1919-1988.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1721883 600 17 Surūsh, ʻAbd al-Karīm.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /37838 600 17 Mujtahid Shabistarī, Muḥammad.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1993049 630 00 Qurʼan|xHermeneutics.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85072967 630 7 Qurʼan.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1842877 630 07 Qurʼan.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1842877 650 0 Revelation|xIslam.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85113415 650 7 Hermeneutics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/955492 650 7 Revelation|xIslam.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1096468 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAkbar, Ali, Dr.|tContemporary perspectives on revelation and Qur'anic hermeneutics. |dEdinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, [2020] |z9781474456166|w(DLC) 2019304369|w(OCoLC)1127098912 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2480322|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
