Title: An approach to the Koran

Author: Maurice Gloton

Publisher: ALBOURAQ

Medium: Book

Theme: The Holy QURAN

Description: Since the origins of Islam, every believing Muslim has lived in a double reciprocal relationship with the Koranic revelation. On the one hand, he understands revelation according to his culture, his individual options, the historical determinations which surround and constitute him. On the other hand, he apprehends the world through the framework, the criteria and the values that the Koran teaches him. The dynamics of this “hermeneutic situation” (Henry Corbin) presided over the elaboration of most of the great disciplines of the mind in classical Islam – law and literary criticism, theology, mysticism, etc.
