In this program, Soroush Dabbagh, in conversation with Nora Nourisafat, delves into Abdolkarim Soroush's theory of revelation; a subject that has been a central axis of debate in Iranian religious intellectualism over recent decades. The core issue is understanding the relationship between revelation and religious experience, prophetic language, and the possibility of a human interpretation of the sacred text.
The conversation seeks to show how Abdolkarim Soroush thinks about revelation, prophethood, the Quran, and the role of the Prophet's experience in shaping religious discourse. From this perspective, the discussion is not confined to theoretical theology but also concerns the epistemological, interpretive, and religious consequences of this view.
The significance of this program lies in the fact that Soroush Dabbagh's narration and analysis can contribute to a more precise understanding of one of the most contentious theories in contemporary Iranian religious studies; a theory that once again calls into question the relationship between faith, rationality, religious text, and spiritual experience.
