Abstract

"James Pritchard's classic anthologies of the ancient Near East have introduced generations of readers to texts essential for understanding the peoples and cultures of this important region. Now these two enduring works have been combined and integrated into one convenient and richly illustrated volume, with a new foreword that puts the tranlations in context. With more than 130 reading selections and 300 photographs of ancient art, architecture and artifacts, this volume provides a stimulating introduction to some of the most significant and widely studied texts of the ancient Near East, including the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Creation Epic (Enuma elish), the Code of Hammurabi, and the Baal Cycle. For students of history, religion, the Bible, archaeology, and anthropology, this anthology provides a wealth of material for understanding the ancient Near East."--P. [4] of cover.

Abstract

The Cambridge Companion to the Bible, 2nd edition provides in-depth data and analysis of the production and reception of the canonical writings of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, and also of the apocryphal works produced by Jewish and Christian writers. Unique among single-volume introductions, this book focuses on the ever-changing social and cultural contexts in which the biblical authors and their original readers lived. The authors of the first edition were chosen for their internationally recognized expertise in their respective fields: the history and literature of Israel; postbiblical Judaism; biblical archaeology; and the origins and early literature of Christianity. In this second edition, all chapters have been updated and thoroughly revised,under the direction of a new volume editor, Bruce D. Chilton. More than 22 new maps, 90 new photographs and a full-color section help illustrate the book.

Abstract

Lire le Coran non pas du point de vue de la religion, de la théologie ou d'une recherche de dialogue, mais tout simplement du point de vue de l'anthropologie et de l'histoire, soulève de difficiles problèmes. La lecture que propose ce livre est celle du premier islam dans son milieu d'origine, l'Arabie des steppes et des déserts. Comment les récits bibliques, auxquels se réfère si souvent le Coran, se sont-ils adaptés à ce contexte si particulier pour pouvoir être entendus par les hommes des tribus ? Les figures de Noé, Moïse et Abraham y sont en quelque sorte reconfigurées - pour ne pas dire transfigurées - d'une manière tout à fait inattendue, faisant écho à l'itinéraire tourmenté de Mahomet au milieu des siens : simple " avertisseur " tribal inspiré, il se découvre lui-même peu à peu prophète, à l'instar de ceux dont le Coran fait ses grands devanciers. C'est ainsi que l'islam gagnera, d'une façon que rien ne laissait présumer, sa qualification de religion abrahamique. Armée d'une excellente connaissance historique de l'univers proche et moyen-oriental, arabisante hors de pair, Jacqueline Chabbi développe ici nombre d'hypothèses aussi ingénieuses que passionnantes. Cet essai permet de mieux comprendre le texte sacré d'une des trois grandes religions du monde
