The Qurans Reformation of Judaism and Christianity

This volume explores the relationship between the Quran and the Jewish and Christian traditions, considering aspects of continuity and reform. The chapters examine the Qurans retelling of biblical narratives, as well as its reaction to a wide array of topics that mark Late Antique religious discourse, including eschatology and gentile purity, prophetology and paganism, and heresiology and Christology.

Twelve emerging and established scholars explore the many ways in which the Quran updates, transforms, and challenges religious practices, beliefs, and narratives that Late Antique Jews and Christians had developed in dialogue with the Bible. The volume establishes the Qurans often unique perspective alongside its surprising continuity with Judaism and Christianity. Chapters focus on individual suras and on intra-Quranic parallels, on the Qurans relationship to pre-Islamic Arabian culture, on its intertextuality and its literary intricacy, and on its legal and moral framework. It illustrates a move away from the problematic paradigm of cultural influence and instead emphasizes the Qurans attempt to reform the religious landscape of its time.

The Qurans Reformation of Judaism and Christianity offers new insight into the Islamic Scripture as a whole and into recent methodological developments, providing a compelling snapshot of the burgeoning field of Quranic studies. It is a key resource for students and scholars interested in religion, Islam, and Middle Eastern Studies.

Holger M. Zellentin teaches Judaism at the University of Cambridge. His research interests include Talmudic culture and Quranic law; his publications include Rabbinic Parodies of Jewish and Christian Literature (2011) and The Qurns Legal Culture: The Didascalia Apostolorum as a Point of Departure (2013).
