The Quran in contemporary thought

Book name: The Quran in Contemporary Thought Author: Muhammad Shahrour Publisher: Al-Saqi Book classification: Self-development Number of pages: 160 About the book: Over forty-seven years, Dr. Muhammad Shahrour conducts his study of the text of the Holy Revelation, but he has not announced the end of this ongoing lesson. He here starts from three problems, synonymy, analogy, and connection to the past, which he sees as facing what he calls "the Arab collective mind," to clarify why this mind is unable to produce knowledge. From the chair of the "Arab World Institute" in Paris, and during a series of valuable lectures between 2017 and 2018, Shahrour summarizes his ideas and opinions over those decades, thus summarizing what he has called for years "the contemporary reading of the Holy Revelation," and the important results that branched from it.
