Bible and Qurʼān: Essays in Scriptural Intertextuality
The
Bible and the Qur'?n share a common layer of discourse based on stories
and legends associated with certain paradigmatic characters like Noah,
Abraham, and Moses. Yet most biblical scholars are unfamiliar with the
rich contents of Islamicate scriptural lore. The nine essays in the
present volume, all from scholars who center their research on the
intersections of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic literary traditions,
explore various aspects of the textual and behavioral connections
discernible among these three major Near Eastern religious communities.
The book will appeal to students and scholars of Bible and biblical
lore, particularly in diverse exegetical contexts; Biblicists interested
in the reception history of Bible within the Islamicate cultural
sphere; specialists in ancient and medieval Jewish literary history and
folklore; scholars of eastern Christian history and literature;
Islamicists with an interest in the Jewish and/or Christian textual and
exegetical elements visible in early and medieval Islam. Contributors
include Fred Astren, Reuven Firestone, Sidney H. Griffith, Brian M.
Hauglid, Kathryn Kueny, Jane Dammen McAuliffe, Gordon D. Newby, John C.
Reeves, Vernon K. Robbins, and Brannon M. Wheeler.Get it
