How did different political or theological agendas shape works of 岳温韓壊朝姻, and in what ways did the genre develop over time and in different regions? These are some of the major questions which this book seeks to address.
This book constitutes the first comprehensive attempt at describing the genre of 河顎姻a稼ic exegesis in its broader intellectual context. Its aim is to provide a framework for understanding the boundaries of 岳温韓壊朝姻 and its interaction with other disciplines of learning, as well as the subgenres and internal divisions within the genre. It discusses the emergence of the genre in the beginnings of Islamic history and the changes and potential ruptures it has experienced in later times, the role of hadith, law, language, philosophy, theology and political ideology for the interpretive process, the regional dimension, the influx of modernist ideas and the process of writing 岳温韓壊朝姻 in languages other than Arabic.
