"As a whole, the articles offer an interesting insight into the various ways to approach the genre of tafsir as an autonomous genre of Islamic literature...On this excellent basis, further research is to be highly anticipated."--Die Welt des Islams "This volume is an enormous contribution in that it is a coherent and cohesive attempt at identifying the boundaries of this important genre of Islamic literature. Those seeking a holistic response to the question of what exactly constitutes tafsir should prepare themselves to find unexpected answers in unusual places."--Religious Studies Review "This edited volume promises to become a reference work the moment it is published. The scope of the collection is simply outstanding and the selection of articles covers essential aspects of tafsir that are usually neglected... The scholarship is of the highest standard, and the breadth is unprecedented in publications of its kind." --Walid A. Saleh, Distinguished Professor for Islamic Studies, University of Toronto "This research is not available elsewhere and provides insights into areas of Qur'an commentary that are integral to Islamic Studies and to the continued research into the Qur'an... The contributors are strong, of relevance to the field, and provide intellectually stimulating arguments." --Brannon Wheeler, Professor of History, United States Naval Academy, "[T]his edited volume is very valuable. ... it contains important contributions of a high standard that pave the way for future research in the field.

Synopsis
How and when did Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir) emerge as a literary genre of its own? To what extent was it influenced by other disciplines, such as law, theology or philosophy? How did different political or theological agendas shape works of tafsir, and in what ways did the genre develop over time and in different regions? These are some of the major questions which this book seeks to address.This book constitutes the first comprehensive attempt at describing the genre of Qur'anic exegesis in its broader intellectual context. Its aim is to provide a framework for understanding the boundaries of tafsir and its interaction with other disciplines of learning, as well as the subgenres and internal divisions within the genre. It discusses the emergence of the genre in the beginnings of Islamic history and the changes and potential ruptures it has experienced in later times, the role of hadith, law, language, philosophy, theology and political ideology for the interpretive process, the regional dimension, the influx of modernist ideas and the process of writing tafs?r in languages other than Arabic. Among the fifteen authors who have contributed to the volume are leading scholars in the field as well as young researchers, which makes for a unique and fresh perspective on a field that has long been reduced to its instrumental value for understanding the Qur'an. Covering the time from the formation of Qur'anic exegesis until the present, it is a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars in the field., How and when did Qur'anic exegesis ( tafsir ) emerge as a literary genre of its own?
