Description
This book examines eight Muslim writers and how they have interpreted the Qur'an. The writers come from different parts of the world and have different backgrounds, which has affected how they have interpreted the Qur'an. Some of the writers have responded to the pressures in life by thinking about the Qur'an in a different way, while others have used the Qur'an to reflect on their own experiences.
What is happening in Islam is of concern to more than Muslims. The Qur'an is the prime possession of Muslims: how then, are they reading and understanding their sacred Book today? This volume, originally published in 1985, examines eight writers from India, Egypt, Iran and Senegal. Their way with the Qur'an indicates how some in Islam respond to the pressures in life and thought, associated in the West with thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Marx, Camus, Kafka, Jung, Fanon and De Chardin.
