The Qurān: A Form-Critical History: summary, description and annotation

The corpus coranicum eludes familiar categories and resists strict labels. No doubt the threads woven into the fabric are exceptionally textured, varied, and complex. Accordingly, the introductory chapter of this book demonstrates the application of form criticism to the text. Chapter two then presents a form-critical study of the prayer genre. It identifies three productive formulae and addresses distinct social settings and forms associated with them. The third chapter begins by defining the liturgy genre vis--vis prayer in the Qurn. Drawing a line between the hymn and litany forms, this chapter treats each in turn. Chapter four considers the genre classified as wisdom literature. It identifies sapiential formulae and sheds light on wisdom contexts. The fifth chapter examines the narrative genre writ large. It also surveys narrative blocks of the long saga. The subsequent chapter on the proclamation genre inspects a set of vocative formulae, which occurs in the messenger situation. The concluding chapter looks at the corpus through synchronic and diachronic lenses. In the end, Qurnic genres encapsulate the form-critical elements of formulae, forms, and settings, as well as an historical dimension.

Chapter 1:Method
1.1 Introduction

The present monograph examines the constructive application of genre criticism to the corpus coranicum .

Turning to the critique of the eponymous Wellhausen school, Gunkel opens with a simple disclaimer: Wellhausen is above reproach. :

One could say that Gunkel blazed new paths in every field in which he worked, and in many cases methodologically broke new ground. Against a generation that had been represented by Wellhausen, he led scholarship to a completely altered outlook, especially in Old Testament research.

In sum, James Muilenburg (d. 1974) emphasizes, the first and most obvious achievement of genre criticism is that it supplied a much-needed corrective to literary and historical criticism.

1.2 Critical Approaches
Reception Criticism

In Theodor Nldekes summative article The Koran (1891), commentaries (sing. tafsr ) stand alongside scripture.

Then again, Mustansir Mir attests, most of them are, in respect of their orientation, premises, and structure, works of theology rather than of literary criticism.

Form Criticism

In terms of theory, Wansbroughs work represents a watershed in the discipline. As Neuwirth explains in a striking image, the publication of Qur nic Studies

First of all, Gunkel expressed strong reservations about the designation itself.
