By comparing scholarship within these disciplines using current state-of-the-art methodology, the study shows how the Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eānic concept of Divine covenant reflects natural law theory, relates to a range of other legal, political, and linguistic Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eānic concepts, informs the canon's entire literary structure, and has implications for a new, legal theory of 'Islamic origins'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes the case that the Islamic disciplines share political economy, institutional framework, and decisive theoretical topics with the Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eān. The latter includes the natural law-related issues of human rights, constitutional separation of powers, and social contract. The book surveys the scholarly deliberations of these topics within the parameters of each discipline and in changing contexts. In addition, it maps the consequences of the modern nation-state institutional order for early modern and contemporary Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eānic studies. The early and medieval Islamic disciplines offer scientifically valuable knowledge because they refer to the same institutional framework as the Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eān. These disciplines are also important parts of European political history, where they have inspired social contract theory inclusive of diverse religious identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrika Martensson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781791708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781791707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Ulrika Martensson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944159510783,"sku":"9781781791707","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_df6430cf-ea2f-4000-a483-03df63eee3e3.jpg?v=1681502134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divine-covenant-ulrika-martensson-9781781791707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
