Tensions between localising and globalising forces; tensions between hierarchical and egalitarian social ideals; and tensions between the quest for new approaches and the claim for authority raised by defenders of exegetical traditions. It is this complex web of power structures, local as well as global, that this book seeks to elucidate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a fresh perspective on present-day Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eānic interpretations by analysing the historical, social and political dimensions in which they take place, the ways in which they are performed and the media through which they are transmitted. Besides discussing the persistence of exegetical traditions and the emergence of new paradigms, it examines the structural conditions in which these processes occur. Languages, nation states, global human rights discourses and intra-Islamic divisions all shape the nature of interpretive endeavours and frequently fuel conflicts over the correct understanding of the Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eān.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains more than twenty detailed case studies of recent Qur\u003cstrong\u003eʾ\u003c\/strong\u003eānic interpretations, based on translated texts that cover a variety of languages, regions, media, genres, approaches, authors and target groups. They are integrated into the chapters, bring their arguments to life and stimulate fundamental reflections on the authority of the text and the authority of its interpreters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johanna Pink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800500270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800500273\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 07\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.70d","brand":"Johanna Pink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993767018751,"sku":"9781800500273","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00d13061-c701-47fa-b568-a4f82893a974.jpg?v=1683326192","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muslim-quranic-interpretation-today-johanna-pink-9781800500273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
