The Method and Pattern of Neuwirth in Determining the Relationship Process of the Holy Quran

The relationship between the holy Quran and the biblical tradition is of the topics which the Western scholars are concerned with. Angelika Neuwirth determines this relationship with a linguistic approach in her Quranic studies. With critically debating over the researches which has figured that the holy Quran is an Arabic copy of Bible or being adapted from Christianity she believes that the holy Quran is a holy and independent scripture which from one side it has indicated the peak point of sacred Books and from the other side it has fulfilled his divine purposes. Neuwirth studies the process and howness of the Quran dialogue with its addressees in an oral form and as a drama. She thinks that the Quran is a communicative text and in interaction with the addressees that it could answer to their problems and questions. With applying the analytic-descriptive approach the author firstly reviews the Neuwirth’s theory and also Habermas’s theory of communicative action in this paper and then it has determined the utilization of Habermas’s theory by Neuwirth. The results show that Neuwirth has used Habermas’s theory of communicative action. In his diachrony and surah observing for explaining the unity and independence of the noble Quran Neuwirth has in some cases mixed up with the Christian approach.
