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.
