Introduction -- 1. The Writing of History and the 'Religious Other' -- 2. Qurʼānic Theory of Concept? -- 3. The Qurʼānic Canon -- 4. Natural Law Theory: Qurʼānic Covenant Revisited -- 5. Institutional Practices -- 6. The Disciplines and 'the Scientific Qurʼān' -- 7. Modern Institutional Shifts -- 8. Conclusions -- Bibliography.
Summary: "Divine Covenant explores the Qur'anic concept of divine knowledge through scientific, theoretical paradigms - in particular natural law theory - and their relationship with seven Islamic scholarly disciplines: linguistics, hadith, politics, history, exegesis, jurisprudence, theology. By comparing scholarship within these disciplines with current state-of-the-art, the study shows how the Qur'anic concept of divine Covenant reflects natural law theory, relates to a range of other legal, political, and linguistic Qur'anic concepts, informs the canon's entire literary structure, and has implications for a new, legal theory of 'Islamic origins'"-- Provided by publisher.
