About the book:
Women, Households, and the Hereafter in the Qur'an offers a fresh perspective on the highly contested topic of women's status in the Qur'an. Using a historical-critical approach, Karen Bauer and Feras Hamza argue that women were integral to the early community of believers, and that households were a major locus of Qur’anic morality, piety, and law. This compelling and original work proposes new paradigms for understanding the Qur’an’s social milieu and its salvific vision for that world.
