| Abstract
|
:
|
"Al-Ghazali and the Qur'an: One Book, Many Meanings is the first work to focus entirely on the Qur'anic interpretation of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058-1111), a towering figure of Sunni Islam. Martin Whittingham explores both al-Ghazali's hermeneutical methods and his interpretations of particular Qur'anic texts, and covers al-Ghazali's mystical, legal and theological concerns." "The book sets out systemically the nature of al-Ghazali's dependence in Mishkat al-anwar on Ibn Sina (Avicenna). In addition, it illuminates the complex interactions of al-Ghazali's mystical, legal and theological concerns. Tables are used to make as clear as possible al-Ghazali's schemes of interpretation." "Providing a new point of access to the works of al-Ghazali, this book will be welcomed by scholars and students of Islamic studies, religious studies, hermeneutics and anyone interested in how Muslims understand the Qur'an."--Jacket.
