Creating the Qur’an presents the first systematic historical-critical study of the Qur’an’s origins, drawing on methods and perspectives commonly used to study other scriptural traditions. Demonstrating in detail that the Islamic tradition relates not a single attested account of the holy text’s formation, Stephen J. Shoemaker shows how the Qur’an preserves a surprisingly diverse array of memories regarding the text’s early history and its canonization. To this he adds perspectives from radiocarbon dating of manuscripts, the linguistic history of Arabic, the social and cultural history of late ancient Arabia, and the limitations of human memory and oral transmission, as well as various peculiarities of the Qur’anic text itself. Considering all the relevant data to present the most comprehensive and convincing examination of the origin and evolution of the Qur’an available, Shoemaker concludes that the canonical text of the Qur’an was most likely produced only around the turn of the eighth century.

"It is a splendid introduction--carefully researched and comprehensive, yet readable. It corrects many popular and erroneous notions about Islam that prevail in non-Muslim societies. For the general reader there are many profound insights of great consequence, for example, the passages on women, marriage, and inheritance, or the section on jihad, nearly always completely misunderstood in the press."--

Quels sont les fondements de la foi islamique ? Pourquoi la religion musulmane se développe-t-elle si vite aujourd'hui ? Quel est le vrai sens du mot jihad ? Dire que l'homme est supérieur à la femme dans l'islam, est-ce exact ou est-ce un cliché ? Comment la vie de Jésus est-elle présentée dans le Coran ? Fruit de longs entretiens avec deux journalistes, cet ouvrage répond aux questions les plus courantes que se pose l'opinion publique occidentale, plus prégnantes depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. L'auteur aborde les problèmes de fond auxquels, de tous temps, les musulmans ont été confrontés : l'interprétation des textes sacrés, l'autorité, les droits de l'homme, la condition de la femme, la liberté religieuse, la violence, le rapport à la modernité et à l'Occident. A l'heure où le débat sur l'intégration sociale et le dialogue interreligieux est faussé par toutes sortes de préjugés et d'opinions naïves, l'auteur donne des réponses claires, documentées et directes, voire " politiquement incorrectes ", à tous ceux qui s'interrogent sur les modalités d'une cohabitation avec les musulmans.

As far too many intellectual histories and theoretical contributions from the ‘global South’ remain under-explored, this volume works towards redressing such imbalance. Experienced authors, from the regions concerned, along different disciplinary lines, and with a focus on different historical timeframes, sketch out their perspectives of envisaged transformations. This includes specific case studies and reflexive accounts from African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern contexts. Taking a critical stance on the ongoing dominance of Eurocentrism in academia, the authors present their contributions in relation to current decolonial challenges. Hereby, they consider intellectual, practical and structural aspects and dimensions, to mark and build their respective positions. From their particular vantage points of (trans)disciplinary and transregional engagement, they sketch out potential pathways for addressing the unfinished business of conceptual decolonization. The specific individual positionalities of the contributors, which are shaped by location and regional perspective as much as in disciplinary, biographical, linguistic, religious, and other terms, are hereby kept in view. Drawing on their significant experiences and insights gained in both the global north and global south, the contributors offer original and innovative models of engagement and theorizing frames that seek to restore and critically engage with intellectual practices from particular regions and transregional contexts in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. This volume builds on a lecture series held at ZMO in the winter 2019-2020

L'islamologue montre comment, de manière constante à travers l'histoire, la question du lien entre islam et islamisme prend sa source au plus profond du Coran, dans une tension permanente entre visée spirituelle et ambition d'emprise sur le monde. L'enjeu est alors de savoir si l'islam est en mesure de se réformer de manière à concilier son dogme avec les idéaux du temps présent.
