Summary
Ramon Harvey: The Qur'an and the Just Society
British Islamic scholar Dr. Ramon Harvey's seminal work provides a pioneering theological and hermeneutical framework for understanding social justice through the text of the Qur'an. The author successfully combines the classical Islamic tradition with the methodology of contemporary academic studies in order to reconstruct the Qur'anic system of ethics and its universal messages applicable in today's world.
The book is divided into four key units that analyze in detail Quranic ethics, political justice (including the concepts of peace and war), distributive justice (economy, trade, marriage and inheritance) and corrective justice (legal and penal system). Indispensable reading for all students, researchers and readers interested in Islamic theology, sociology and philosophy of law.
