It is a work where you can get a lot of basic information about historicity, which is presented as a way of understanding the Quran. It is stated that this approach, which is stated to have been put forward especially under the leadership of Fazlur Rahman, has two steps.
1- Determining the full context of what the Quran meant to the Arab society at the time it was revealed.
2- It is the interpretation of what the extracted meaning can mean to us today.
It is stated that this method is not against the universality of the Quran, but there are great difficulties in determining its meaning in history.
The term 'transhistoricism' is used as the opposite of historicism. The biggest criticism of the traditional approach is that it cannot determine a moral method for understanding the Quran. (Sometimes like a historicist approach, sometimes like a transhistorical approach)
If you are open to different ideas about understanding the Quran, it is definitely a useful book.
Good reading....
