Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur’ān
In recent years, the Qur'ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, 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 th…
Text and tafsīr
Systematic scholarship on Qurʾānic tafsīr (commentary) is a matter of growing interest for Muslim and non-Muslim scholars alike. While the subject of tafsīr has benefited from the increased attention to Qurʾānic studies generally, it has also been the focus of more specific concern. For the purposes of a brief presentation, the history of tafsīr may conveniently be divided into three periods: formative, classical, and modern. This study, for reas…
The Qur'ān and other religions
The role of religion in building bridges between communities is under greater scrutiny today than it was in the 1970s and 1980s. In the present period, religion has assumed a critical responsibility in defining the guidelines for life in a civil society in which a modern notion of inclusive citizenry is at odds with a community of the faithful defined as religiously exclusive. Monotheistic traditions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam are notor…
Western scholarship and the Qur'ān
Early in the twentieth century, the notion of what was meant by Western scholarship on the Qur'ān would not have created much discussion. It was quite obvious that the phrase referred to scholarly work on the Qur'ān undertaken by European academics who were not Muslims. Continuing with such an understanding in the twenty-first century is quite problematic, however, both for its suggestion that work by those who declare themselves to be Muslims ca…
Women’s readings of the Qur'ān
Some 1,400 years ago, when the Qur'ān was being revealed to the prophet Muhammad, his wife Umm Salama reportedly asked him why it was not addressing women. It seems she was not impressed by the fact that in the Arabic language, as in many others, the male gender is inclusive of the female and that in using it the Qur'ān was, in effect, addressing both. Of course if this had been an idle question on her part and nothing had come of it, the inciden…
Recitation and aesthetic reception
For Muslims, the Qur'ān is not only a much-recited sacred text; it is 'the reciting' (al-Qur'ān). Specifically, it is God's 'reciting', his verbatim speech, his eternal, uncreated word. As such, it has been the medium par excellence of divine-human encounter for Muslims of all times, places and persuasions. It mediates the presence of God, just as it does his will and blessing. The revelations to Muhammad were from the outset intended to be rehea…
The Cambridge Companion to the Qur'an
As the living scriptural heritage of more than a billion people, the Qur'an (Koran) speaks with a powerful voice. Just as other scriptural religions, Islam has produced a long tradition of interpretation for its holy book. Nevertheless, efforts to introduce the Qur'an and its intellectual heritage to English-speaking audiences have been hampered by the lack of available resources. The Cambridge Companion to the Qur'an seeks to remedy that situati…
Reading the Qur’ān with Fidelity and Freedom
Within our lifetimes the population of North America has become much more demographically and religiously diverse. We now live on a continent that has recently rediscovered the public face of religion and often fears it, whose prevailing mindset has moved from “secularization” to “clash-of-civilizations” in the blink of an eye. Islam sits at the center of this change, and Muslims in North America, and elsewhere, have been subject to increased scr…

With Reverence for the Word
This book explores medieval scriptural interpretation. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are often characterized as religio-cultural siblings, traditions whose origins can be traced to the same geographical region and whose systems of belief and institutional structures share much in common. A particularly important point of commonality is the emphasis that each of these traditions places upon the notion of divine revelation, especially as codifie…

The Quranic context of Muslim biblical scholarship
Classical Muslim writing on the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament manifests a continuing tension between two potentially contradictory estimations. Certain verses in the Qur'an charge Jews and Christians with deliberate or inadvertent corruption of their scriptures and persistent misinterpretation of them. Conversely, other qur'anic passages assert the predictive value of these same texts, stimulating Muslim scholars to search biblical sources f…
Qur'anic Christians. An Analysis of Classical and Modern Exegesis
Qurʾānic Christians
Quranic Christians
The Muslim perception of Christianity and Christians is an issue of longstanding debate among scholars of both Islam and Christianity. In this book, Jane McAuliffe analyses a series of passages from the Qur'an that make ostensibly positive remarks about Christians. She conducts this analysis through a close examination of Muslim exegesis of the Qur'an, spanning ten centuries of commentary. In this effort to trace various interpretations of these …
