Menguji “Otentisitas Wahyu Tuhan” Dengan Pembacaan Kontemporer: Telaah Atas Polemical Studies Kajian Orientalis dan Liberal

This paper deals with discourse trying to discuss various contemporary reading of the Koran, which is different from the classical understanding of the model. New research scholarship offered by the Quran in the form of structural linguistic approach is used to redefine the communication process between God with His chosen creature, using the frame of communication theory. The approach is then collaborated with the historical critical approach, which is one part of the methodology applied in Bible studies to the Qur’an. The emphasis is to clarify the origin of the source text focused on the origins of the Koran from the Judeo- Christian tradition. Furthermore, research with this approach seeks the historical aspects of the text of the Qur'an with the intention of reconstructing the historicity.
