The significance of hermeneutics is evident in the human sciences. One of its main tasks is to study the distance of the text from the reader and his/her reception of it in its social, linguistic, and historical contexts. The reader’s response is to interact with the text in order to create new readings that share its continuing relevance. This dialectical relationship between text and reader provides the essential capacity for a recipient to produce new understandings and experiences that are located within the text itself. Thus, since hermeneutics is considered to be one of the most important Quranic sciences, an extensive survey of the classical-era hermeneutics of the Qur’an remains the subject of extensive research in both Muslim and non-Muslim institutions.
