Abstract
In Reading the Qur'an: The Contemporary Relevance of the Sacred Text of the Qur'an, Ziauddin Sardar etches his worldview as a progressive traditionalist. In order to map his own in-betweenness, someone perpetually moving between tradition and modernity, using the one to redefine the other, he relies on scripture. His distinctive strategy for reading an alluring yet complex sacred text reflects his own self-definition as a cultural critic who engages post-modernism but also espies its limits. Uniquely Zia charts how the template for reading the Qur’an as a moral guidebook is already evident in the second and longest chapter, Sura Al-Baqara.
