allow testing of methodological feasibility and intellectual fecundity of this approach to Qur'anic exegesis. A common and important aspect of their works,
as the textual analysis shows, is the attempt to search for a Qur'anic conceptual framework for social theorization informed and guided by the fundamental Islamic world-view. |
