This pioneering volume, the first in a series, presents a plurality of voices, methods and concerns in Qur'anic interpretation ranging from the 8th century to the present day. No previous work has drawn on such a comprehensive range of commentaries and covered such a wide spectrum of theological approaches.On the Nature of the Divine analyses the works of twenty selected Sunni, Shi'i, Ibadi, Mu'tazili, and Sufi commentators on six Qur'anic verses, revealing varied approaches to the scripture and its meaning. In their attempts to discern God's nature, the commentators inevitably introduce their own particular theological concerns into their commentaries. Contextual introductions and annotated translations allow the reader to follow the genesis of key intellectual debates and religio-political attitudes still relevant to the lives of Muslims today. This combination of previously untranslated texts and extensive annotation provides an invaluable and innovative contribution to the field of Islamic studies.

While there is substantial amount of research on religion and ecology, there is no resource on ecological sustainability that brings different religious perspectives on ecology in dialogue with each other. ‘On the Care and Balance of Our Common Home’ does just that, focusing on the dialogue between Christian and Muslim traditions.One of the book’s unique contributions is its bringing together of the Christian and Muslim perspectives on ecology, to raise awareness of the other’s point of view, and indicate how to address the socio-environmental problems together. While each tradition has developed independent eco-theologies and have started various faith-driven ecological activities, the dialogue between them on environmental theologies and action is still scarce. This book fills the need for an accessible and academically rigorous resource to foster collaboration between these faith traditions for the care and balance of our common home.
