This text contains the updated papers of an international symposium, "The Qur'an as Text", which was held at the University of Bonn in November 1993. This collection intends to break away from the 19th-century paradigm of "influences", focusing instead on the literary, the intertextual and the receptional aspects of the Qur'anic text. An approach to the holy book of Islam in the light of modern hermenutics, which is based on modern methods of literary history, text-linguistics and aesthetics, can open the door for an improved understanding of the Qur'an, its role for Islamic religion, and its place in the current history of world religions.
