Contrasting Quranic Interpretations

This chapter explores the differing interpretations of the Quran, contrasting traditional views that see it as uncreated and co-eternal with God against progressive Muslim thought that broadens the notion of revelation. It highlights the influence of early 20th-century philosophers on Islamic thought, particularly the integration of new ideas with traditional beliefs and the evolving nature of the divine-human relationship. The discussion also addresses the historical interplay between Christianity and Islam, illustrating how political power has shaped religious identity and orthodoxy within Sunni Islam.
