商品簡介
As Islamic law is based on the central texts of Islam, the idea of a literal meaning that rules over human attempts to understand God's message has resulted in a series of debates amongst modern Muslim legal theorists. This book traces the emergence and development of the idea of literal meaning in Islamic legal hermeneutics.
