The Bible, the Qur'an, & Their Interpretation: Syriac Perspectives

Cornelia B. Horn

4.9/5 (18116 ratings)

Description:As Sacred Scriptures for the believer, the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Qur’an inspire and guide billions of faithful women and men, young and old, across the globe. One of the exceptionally fruitful contexts in which the reception, interpretation, transmission of, and engagement with these holy texts flourished was in the Syriac-speaking milieu. The articles collected in this volume illuminate the critical contribution of Syriac studies to understanding important aspects of reading Jewish, Christian, and Islamic sacred texts in historical contexts. They open the reader’s imagination to the contribution of the Syriac-speaking world for the cross-fertilization of these sacred texts and their interpretation.With discussions of Adam's sons and daughters, Jesus' miracles, Muhammad's apocalyptic prophethood, or the story the Companions of the Cave in the Qur'an, only to mention a few of the topics, scholars from the Middle East, South Africa, North America, and Europe--Mark Whitters, Herrie van Rooy, Ilaria Ramelli, Alexander Toepel, Robert Phenix, Rebekka Nieten, James Moore, Cornelia Horn, Jeff Childers, and Gaby Abousamra--will grab your attention. The seeds for their articles were laid at the meetings of the SBL Syriac Literature and Interpretations of Sacred Texts consultation in New Orleans, Atlanta, and San Francisco between 2009 and 2011.This book, dedicated to the memory of David W. Johnson, inaugurates Abelian Academic's new Eastern Mediterranean Texts and Contexts (EMTC). This series takes its readers on journeys through Eastern Mediterranean time and space.
