T1  - Mohammad Arkoun: the quran rethought : genesis, significance, and the study of the quran
T2  - Journal of religious culture = Journal für Religionskultur
N2  - Mohammad Arkoun (٭1928, Algeria; †2010, Paris) was an influential Muslim intellectual and particularly concerned with - amongst a profound spectrum of scholarly interests – reforming the academic study of Islamic societies. Trained at the University of Algiers (Faculty of Philology) he ventured off to lecture Arab language and literature at the Sorbonne. His engagement with philosophy and sociology led in 1968 to his PhD at the Sorbonne through a work on Ibn Miskawayh’s ethics...
This exploration into Arkoun’s stances on the Quran looks onto the genesis of the Quran, the notion of the Quran as the ‘deliverer of truth’, and with that, its significane for the ‘being in the world’ of Muslim societies. I will also point out some crucial difficulties in the study of Arkoun’s views on the Quran as well as their implications for the study of Islamic cultures.
