Hermeneutical and Exegetical Approaches to the Concepts of Peace and Violence in the Qur’ān
摘要
The subject of peace and violence in the Qur’ān opens up a broad and differentiated range of topics. This chapter will discuss which understandings of peace and violence are transported in the Qur’ān and how they are received in their respective theological histories. In view of the variety of hermeneutical and exegetical levels of meaning, the complexity of peace efforts and hopes will be shown. Finally, perspectives for the potentials of religious interpretation regarding a holy scripture will be discussed.
