This book is a fascinating exploration of how God speaks to humanity and how Muslims engage with Divine discourse. Produced by the International Foundation for Muslim Theology, this multi-disciplinary volume brings together Muslim scholars from diverse backgrounds to examine revelation, prophethood, and the role of angels as mediators of Divine self-disclosure. More than an abstract theological discussion, this book is the first in a planned series aimed at reinvigorating ‘God-talk’ among Muslims—both academics and laypeople—by grounding theological inquiry in the lived reality of faith. With a focus on Islam’s six principles of belief, the IFMT’s “God-talk project” addresses the challenges of secularization and the marginalization of theology in both academia and daily life. Divine Revelation and Communication marks a vital first step in reviving Muslim theology as a meaningful, dynamic discourse that speaks to the spiritual and existential concerns of modern believers. The International Foundation for Muslim Theology promotes excellence in the study and teaching of Muslim theology – both speculative and pastoral – by facilitating and shaping Muslim theological thought, conversation and community.

Colin Turner, Head of Research at the International Foundation for Muslim Theology, was until 2017 Reader in Islamic Thought at the University of Durham. A trained historian, his chief areas of interest are Muslim theology and philosophy; Quranic interpretation; and Muslim intellectual history, with particular focus on the life and works of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. He is the author of numerous books and articles, including the best-selling Islam: The Basics and The Quran Revealed: A Critical Analysis of Said Nursi’s Epistles of Light.
