Understanding the QurF2;anic Miracle Stories in the Modern Age explores the ways in which meaningful implications have been drawn from stories of miracles in the QurF2;an. Isra Yazicioglu describes the fascinating medieval Muslim debate over miracles and connects its insights with early and late modern turning points in Western thought and with contemporary QurF2;anic interpretation. Building on an apparent tension within the QurF2;an and analyzing crucial cases of classical and modern Muslim engagement with these miracle stories, she illustrates how an apparent site of conflict between faith and reason, or revelation and science, can lead to fruitful exchange.A distinctive contribution to a new trend in QurF2;anic studies, this volume reveals the presence of insightful QurF2;anic interpretation outside of the traditional line-by-line commentary genre, engaging with the works of Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, and Said Nursi. Scholars of Islam, philosophy, and the intersection of science and religion will especially want to engage with Yazicioglu's study.
