God-Man Communication in the Quran: A Semiological Approach

The present article aims to investigate the appropriateness of the concepts introducedby modern sciences of the sign, particularly by structural and post structural approaches, to studying God-man communication in the Quran. Such a conception of communication can be described in terms of two models, namely, communication assending and communication as reading. These two concepts which represent anuncompromising dualism in the modern approaches to the sign, come to acompromise in the religious discourse, leading us not merely to conceiving a powerful God but also to a powerful man.
