Summary
  • "On the Nature of the Divine analyses the works of twenty selected Sunni, Shi'i, Ibadi, Mu'tazili, and Sufi commentators on six Qur'anic verses, revealing varied approaches to the scripture and its meaning. In their attempts to discern God's nature, the commentators inevitably introduce their own particular theological concerns into their commentaries. Contextual introductions and annotated translations allow the reader to follow the genesis of key intellectual debates and religio-political attitudes still relevant to the lives of Muslims today. This combination of previously untranslated texts and extensive annotation provides an invaluable and innovative contribution to the field of Islamic studies."--Jacket.
  • "An Anthology of Qur'anic Commentaries, Volume II: On Women offers a thematic overview of the subject of 'women' in the Qur'an and in the commentarial tradition known as tafsīr. Influential commentaries on five key Qur'anic verses are made accessible through extensive introductory materials and critically annotated translations, while contemporary debates are addressed in interviews with Muslim scholars, including women themselves. On Women addresses sociocultural and legal issues that impact Muslims' daily lives in the private and public sphere."--Back cover.
