»Das Männliche ist nicht wie das Weibliche« (Sure 3:36)

How does the Qur'an construct ideas and norms of gender? Nimet Şeker delves into the fundamental Quranic concepts of gender, exploring whether a divine hierarchy between genders is established. The book investigates how pre-modern and contemporary exegetical thinkers have shaped and negotiated gender images. It sheds light on diverse hermeneutical and exegetical approaches, including those of classical and feminist scholars, and their impact on gender-specific interpretations. This work is intended for individuals interested in exegesis, theology, Islamic and religious studies, as well as gender studies.
