Dialogue with the Qur'an

By Maria Elena Gottarelli

Within the two essays collected in this book the author challenges the most traditional approaches to the Qur'anic studies and builds a dialogic dimension between the Book and the Reader. The first essay (2014) recalls the hermeneutic approach of the Egyptian philosopher N.H. Abu Zayd and expands his arguments by means of a critical comparison with Gadamer and Ricoeur. The second essay (2016) is instead focused on the figure of Abraham within the Qur'an and advances an alternative theory on the relation existing between the Islamic and the Jewish-Christian tradition.
