This study focuses on addressing modernist readings of the Qur’an as a discourse and a special turning point within the Arab and Islamic modernist discourse in its dealings with modernity and Islam. It analyzes the cognitive and discursive contexts of the emergence of these readings, by tracing the readings of four of its pioneers. It also attempts to clarify the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological structure of these modernist readings, and to clarify their declared central stakes embedded in the structure of the discourse, and to clarify the nature of their engagement with the central issues related to the Qur’an.
