Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur'?n

About this book

In recent years, the Qur'?n has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafs?r, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating the depth and breadth of the literature. The essays gathered here expose and explore various aspects of the field of tafs?r, and their potential for scholarly research.
