{"product_id":"an-anthropology-of-the-quran-ahmed-achrati-9781032052885","title":"An Anthropology of the Qur'an","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents an anthropological study of the Qur'an, offering an unprecedented challenge to some of the epistemological and metaphysical assumptions of the \u003ci\u003etawḥīdic\u003c\/i\u003e discourses. Combining primary textual materials and anthropological analysis, this book examines transcendence as a core principle of the Qur'an, uniquely signified in the divine name \u003ci\u003eal-Quddūs \u003c\/i\u003e(the Holy). It shows how the \u003ci\u003etawḥīdic\u003c\/i\u003e representations of Allah constitute an inversion of this attribute; examines how this inversion has been conceived, authorized, and maintained; and demonstrates how it has affected Islamic thinking and practices, especially as relates to authority. This book also explores how a return to the Qur'anic primacy of God's otherness as \u003cem\u003eal-Qudd\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eū\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003es\u003c\/em\u003e can influence Islamic thinking and practices moving forward. Therefore, it will be highly useful to scholars of Islamic Studies, philosophical theology, Qur'anic studies, political science, ethics, anthropology, and religious studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahmed Achrati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032052880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032052885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Ahmed Achrati","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066888351999,"sku":"9781032052885","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb3a0eac-9553-405f-9e7a-4c1b67cb4529.jpg?v=1685409925","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-anthropology-of-the-quran-ahmed-achrati-9781032052885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
