Recenzje

This book is about the intersection of modernity and Sunni exegetical thought...The book can be read from a number of perspectives. On one level it is a response to and an accusation of 'well meaning' Muslim feminists who do not engage with the Tafsir genre and yet are quick to discard it as monolithic, patriarchal, misogynist and bereft of women's voice...It is a call to Muslim feminists not to indulge in disciplinary confusion. If one wants to engage with the Qur'an, then one needs to do so within the methods of the field of Tafsir studies and not superimpose methods from other disciplines. The book is also about the interpretive powers of pre-modern exegetes to have a say in modern issues.
