Abstract

"The authenticity of a canon is an essential question for all religions where a scripture holds a central place. But whereas, for other denominations, the truth of the message accommodates variations in the formulation, this is not the position of the Muslim dogma, which considers that the canonical text of the Koran, recited by the faithful or recorded on the first manuscript copies and subsequently printed, reflects very scrupulously the divine word preserved on a celestial original.Contrary to this conviction, which has gradually been affirmed in the first centuries of Islam before completely imposing itself, data borrowed from the Muslim tradition allow, by crosschecking with the indications drawn from the examination of the most ancient Qur'anic manuscripts, to note that plurality has characterized the genesis of the Quran and its initial transmission, both written and oral.By analyzing different strata of the version that has imposed itself, but also the fragments of reviews that have gradually been dismissed, François Déroche shows that the Qur'an has long been open to a plurality of "readings" and reveals an original relationship of the community of faithfuls to it, very different from the absolute literalism towards which Muslim orthodoxy has evolved. This rich and complex story also reveals a Muhammad more concerned with the meaning of the message he announced than with its letter.

Abstract

In this book, Angelika Neuwirth provides a new approach to understanding the founding text of Islam. Typical exegesis of the Qur'an treats the text teleologically, as a fait accompli finished text, or as a replica or summary of the Bible in Arabic. Instead Neuwirth approaches the Qur'an as the product of a specific community in the Late Antique Arabian peninsula, one which was exposed to the wider worlds of the Byzantine and Sasanian empires, and to the rich intellectual traditions of rabbinic Judaism, early Christianity, and Gnosticism. A central goal of the book is to eliminate the notion of the Qur'an as being a-historical. She argues that it is, in fact, highly aware of its place in late antiquity and is capable of yielding valuable historical information. By emphasizing the liturgical function of the Qur'an, Neuwirth allows readers to see the text as an evolving oral tradition within the community before it became collected and codified as a book. This analysis sheds much needed light on the development of the Qur'an's historical, theological, and political outlook. The book's final chapters analyze the relationship of the Qur'an to the Bible, to Arabic poetic traditions, and, more generally, to late antique culture and rhetorical forms. By providing a new introduction to the Qur'an, one that uniquely challenges current ideas about its emergence and development, The Qur'an and Late Antiquity bridges the gap between Eastern and Western approaches to this sacred text

Abstract

Dans cet ouvrage, Ahmed Oulddali étudie les idées psychologiques et épistémologiques qui sous-tendent l’exégèse spéculative de Faḫr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. Connu pour être l’un des rares théologiens musulmans à avoir proposé une interprétation philosophique du Coran, Rāzī se révèle ici un penseur novateur, profondément convaincu de la nécessité de prendre appui sur les sciences et les méthodes rationnelles pour appréhender la révélation. Son rejet formel du littéralisme et ses multiples emprunts à la philosophie d’Avicenne apparaissent comme la conséquence d’une conception de la connaissance dans laquelle la raison joue un rôle déterminant. Basée sur une documentation très riche, comprenant de nombreuses sources arabes, la présente étude offre une vue d’ensemble des enjeux philosophiques, théologiques et exégétiques auxquels répond la pensée de Rāzī. In Reason and Revelation in Islam , Ahmed Oulddali presents the psychological and epistemological ideas which underlie Faḫr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s speculative exegesis. Known as one of the few Muslim theologians to have proposed a philosophical interpretation of the Qurʾān, Rāzī appears here as an innovative thinker, deeply convinced of the need to rely on rational methods to understand revelation. His formal rejection of literalism and his multiple borrowings from Avicenna’s philosophy are explained as a consequence of a conception of knowledge in which reason plays a decisive role. Richly infused with illustrative texts and original translations from Arab sources, Oulddali’s book offers an overview of the philosophical, theological and exegetical issues to which the thinking of Rāzī responds.

Abstract

Every odd year the International Society for the Study of Biblical and Semitic Rhetoric organizes a conference at the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome). It's a great opportunity for scholars specialized in this specific field of exegesis to expound the results of their research and compare them with others. Also students participate, especially PhD students, in particular of the Department of biblical theology of our Faculty of theology. The largest part of the conference is devoted to analysis of texts, especially of the Bible - Old and New Testament -, but also of other Semitic texts such as the Koran, even other texts widely influenced by biblical texts, such as the Rule of St. Benedict. There are also methodological reflections, to deepen some aspect of our exegetical methodology. Negli anni dispari, l'Associazione internazionale per lo studio della Retorica Biblica e Semitica organizza un convegno alla Pontificia Universita Gregoriana (Roma). E l'occasione, per studiosi e ricercatori specialisti in questo campo specifico di studio, di esporre i risultati delle loro ricerche e confrontarli con gli altri. Partecipano anche gli studenti, in particolar modo i dottorandi, specialmente del Dipartimento di teologia biblica della Facolta di teologia della nostra Universita La parte pi- ampia e consacrata alle analisi di testi, soprattutto della Bibbia - Antico e Nuovo Testamento -, ma anche di altri testi semitici, come il Corano, e pi- in generale di testi influenzati dalla letteratura biblica semitica, come la Regola di san Benedetto. Non mancano infine riflessioni metodologiche, per approfondire qualche aspetto della nostra metodologia esegetica.

Abstract

The scholarly study of the texts traditionally regarded as sacred in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam has been an important aspect of Wissenschaft des Judentums and was often conceptualized as part of Jewish theology. Featuring studies on Isaak Markus Jost's Jewish children's Bible, Samson Raphael Hirsch's complex position on the question whether or not the Hebrew Bible is to be understood within the context of the Ancient Orient, Isaac Mayer Wise's "The Origin of Christianity," Ignaz Goldziher's Scholarship on the Qur'an, modern translators of the Qur'an into Hebrew, and the German translation of the Talmud, the volume attempts to shed light on some aspects of this phenomenon, which as a whole seems to have received few scholarly attention, and to contextualize it within the contemporary intellectual currents.

Abstract

Covering a period from the eighteenth century to the early twenty-first century, this multidisciplinary volume examines Muslim engagements with the Qur'an in a variety of geographical locations in sub-Saharan Africa including Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Tanzania. The volume's twelve case studies use different frameworks and methodological approaches from the academic disciplines of philology, historiography, anthropology, and art history. These studies explore a variety of media and modalities that Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa, as elsewhere, use in their engagements with the Qur'an. These include: manuscripts; commentaries; translations; recitations and invocations; music and poetry; magical squares and symbolic repertoire; medicinal and curative acts; textiles, ink, paper, and wooden boards; spaces of education, healing and prayer, as well as spaces of dreams and spirit worlds. As such, the case studies move well beyond the materiality of the Qur'an as a physical book to explore the ways in which the Qur'an is understood, felt and imagined, as well as the contestations and debates that arise from these diverse engagements. Approaches to the Qur'an in Sub-Saharan Africa opens up new discourses about Islam and Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa through the examination of how Muslims in this geographical and socio-cultural context engage with the Qur'an, and about the Qur'an through an examination of how Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa engage with it. Thus, in seeking to understand the plurality of engagements that Muslims from diverse communities of interpretation and from different parts of sub-Saharan Africa have had with Qur'an, this innovative collection adds to the scholarship on the Qur'an as well as the scholarship on Islam and Muslims in Africa.

Abstract

“Hakan Ҫoruh compares and contrasts Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s Risale-i-Nur Collection with Qur’an commentaries by selected classical and modern exegetes. His methodology is rigorous and his conclusions are compelling, unveiling for the reader one of the most important Qur’an commentaries of the twentieth century by one of Islam’s most significant theologians. The result is a well-argued and coherent work that should be a reference point for anyone interested in the Qur’an and its interpretation.” –Peter G. Riddell, Professor of History, SOAS University of London, UK “Dr. Ҫoruh has written the definitive exposition and analysis of Said Nursi’s methodology of Qur’anic exegesis. Said Nursi is probably the most important Islamic theologian of the twentieth century. This book opens to the world of scholarship the distinctive methodology of Said Nursi. It is a vitally important book.” –The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Ph.D. Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary, USA This book analyzes the distinguished modern Muslim scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi and the methodology of Qur’anic exegesis in his Risale-i Nur Collection, with special reference to the views of the early Muslim modernist intellectuals such as Muhammad ‘Abduh. It seeks to locate Nursi within modern Qur’anic scholarship, exploring the difference between Nursi’s reading of the Qur’an and that of his counterparts, and examines how Nursi relates the Qur’anic text to concerns of the modern period.
