Kur’an tefsiri (tafsir), 21. yüzyılda modernite, küreselleşme ve teknolojik yeniliklerin etkisiyle önemli bir dönüşüm geçirmiştir. Bu makale, çağdaş tefsirdeki dört temel eğilimi incelemektedir: bağlamsal ve tematik tefsir, feminist ve cinsiyet duyarlı yaklaşımlar, dinler arası ve çoğulcu hermeneutik, ve dijital platformlar aracılığıyla tefsirin demokratikleşmesi. Bu eğilimler, sosyal adalet, cinsiyet eşitliği, dini birlikte yaşama ve teknolojinin ortaya koyduğu etik sorunlar gibi acil meselelerle Kur’an’ı ilişkilendirme çabalarını yansıtmaktadır. Makale, modern tefsirin gelenek ile yenilik arasında dinamik bir etkileşim sunduğunu ve klasik metodolojiler ile çağdaş gerçeklikler arasındaki gerilimleri yönlendirdiğini savunmaktadır. Ayrıca, gelenekçi eleştiriler, teolojik parçalanma ve dijital yanlış bilgi riskleri gibi zorlukları ele almakta ve Kur’an tefsirinin çok kültürlü, bağlantılı bir dünyada bütünlüğünü korumak için titiz bir akademik çalışmanın gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.

New Trends in Quranic Interpretation: Contextualism, Feminism, Pluralism, and the Digital Revolution

Öz

Quranic interpretation (tafsir) has undergone significant transformation in the 21st century, driven by the demands of modernity, globalization, and technological innovation. This article examines four pivotal trends in contemporary tafsir: contextualist and thematic exegesis, feminist and gender-sensitive approaches, interfaith and pluralistic hermeneutics, and the democratization of interpretation through digital platforms. These trends reflect efforts to engage the Quran with pressing issues such as social justice, gender equality, religious coexistence, and ethical challenges posed by technology. By analyzing these developments, the article argues that modern tafsir represents a dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation, navigating tensions between classical methodologies and contemporary realities. It also addresses challenges, including traditionalist critiques, theological fragmentation, and the risks of digital misinformation, emphasizing the need for rigorous scholarship to ensure the integrity of Quranic exegesis in a pluralistic, interconnected world.
