Abstract
This article portrays the development of Quranic exegesis studies in contemporary Indonesia by scrutinizing various approaches used by Indonesian Islamic scholars in understanding the Qur’an. Through a bibliographical study, the author argues that there has been a shift in the study of tafsir among Islamic scholars in Indonesia, including among the advocates of the Islamic Liberal Networks (JIL). This shift can be seen in the following aspects: 1) the way Indonesians define the nature of the Qur’an essence, revelation, codification); 2) about the people who have authority to interpret the Qur’an; 3) the methodology and tools to analyze the Qur’an; 4) references, and 5) the objective of interpreting Quran. Kata kunci: Quranic hermeneutics, Indonesia, Islamic literature, tafsir methodology, JIL.
