At-Ta-wil al-Hadathi lit-Turath - Ibrahim As-Sakran

The book delves into the intricate topic of reading and interpreting Islamic heritage from a modernist perspective. It meticulously dissects the nuances of this approach, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of its methodologies and implications.

The book consists of three main themes: The first discusses how modernist scholars employ Orientalist philological methodologies in their interpretation of Islamic heritage. The second reviews the influence of Orientalist visions and approaches on Arab modernists in interpreting heritage. The third examines the epistemological (the study of the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge) sources and foundations upon which the modernist project has based its interpretation of heritage.
