Abstract

This paper adopts Shier Ju’s Generalized Argumentation Theory (GAT) to analyze some cases of Qur’anic argumentations. By comparing it with Rosalind Gwynne’s analysis of the same cases using some of the methods of modern argumentation theory, the paper illustrates the feasibility of adopting GAT to study Qur’anic argumentations and the relative advantages of it, and shows Qur’anic argumentations comply with the social norms of the local communities at the beginning of the rise of Islam.
