Overview
Ibn Al Arabi, the mystic scholar of the thirteenth century, highlights the ambiguities of language and the polysemantic, multifaceted text of the Quran. With Al Arabi's help Winkel expounds how narrowly religion is interpreted by most scholars. Al Arabi disturbs the comfort of man-made religion by his reflections on language, and Winkel's book takes up the same challenge. This book is intended for scholars interested in ancient Islamic law and language.
