The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary
The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary edited by Seyyed Hossein Nasr and a team of contemporary scholars is one of the most comprehensive English-language Quran projects of the modern era. Its objective is not merely to translate the Quran but to introduce readers to the breadth of the classical tafsir tradition through extensive notes, essays, and scholarly commentary. The manhaj is academic and comparative, drawing upon Sunni, Shii, Sufi, philosophical, and linguistic sources while generally avoiding advocacy for any single school. The contributors represent a broadly traditionalist and perennialist intellectual orientation. The work is especially popular among university students, researchers, and readers seeking an academically rigorous introduction to the Quran's interpretive tradition. More...
