Islamic revelation in terms of modern debates in Western thought

Abstract

Islamic revelation in terms of modern debates in Western thought In this article I will primarily examine the theological status of Islamic revelation in terms of modern debates in Western thought. To be able to do this, I will clarify the distinction between propositional and non-propositional understanding of revelation in Western thought. Secondly I will focus on the basic features of Islamic revelation in reference to the Quranic verses. Finally I will evaluate the nature of Islamic revelation from both, Quranic and Western, sides

Keywords

• Revelation, Islamic revelation, propositional revelation, non-propositional revelation

Batı Düşüncesindeki Modern Tartışmaların Işığında İslam Vahyi

Abstract

Bu makalede Batı düşüncesindeki vahiyle ilgili modern tartışmalardan hareketle İslam vahyinin teolojik statüsünü konu edineceğim. Bunun için, konu ile ilgili İngilizce literatürdeki ‘önermesel’ ve ‘kişisel’ (önermesel olmayan) vahiy anlayışları ve aralarındaki farklar üzerinde durduktan sonra, Kur’an ayetlerine referansla İslam vahyinin temel özelliklerini belirginleştireceğim. Nihai olarak da, hem Batı düşüncesi ve hem de Kur’an ayetleri açısından İslam vahyinin mahiyetini değerlendireceğim

Keywords

• Önermesel vahiy, kişisel vahiy, önermesel olmayan vahiy, İslam vahyi
