| Summary: | This paper deals with the writings of Muhammad Shahrur, who is currently considered one of the most interesting and innovative thinkers in Syria and beyond. The success of his first book, "The book and the Coran: a contemporary reading" (1990) made him a household name among intellectuals, students, and scholars of the entire Middle East during the 1990s. Many readers were stunned by the bold, creative, and unfamiliar way of thinking that characterized Shahrur's writings. People who were neither experts nor full-time students of Islam and the Coran were fascinated by the logic of his arguments and gained easy access to rather complex philosophical and theological debates. The "Shahrur phenomenon", as Peter Clark called it, "challenge(d) a millennium of Islamic tradition". (Maghreb-Machrek/GIGA) |
