The new approach was propounded seriously by publishing some German Quran researchers specifically Christoph Luxenberg which was followed by various subjective ideas in west. The scientific basis of orientalists' researches about Holy Quran is the cognitive principal and modern language in hermeneutics and linguistics. The author of the present research attempts to study the most important and common works which are discussed in Quran studies in west these days and evaluates western Quran researchers' analysis and the possible shortages and challenges.
