This volume presents the thought of Syrian intellectual Muḥammad Shahrūr to the English‑speaking world, offering a bold, progressive interpretation of the Qur’an that aims to reclaim its moral and rational core. Shahrūr challenges classical interpretations and argues that centuries of traditional scholarship have obscured the Qur’an’s enduring message of justice, reason, and universal ethics. The book addresses key topics — revelation, the Sunna, limits of religious law, women’s rights, political Islam — and includes extensive commentary, interviews, and critical analysis.
