About The Book

This comparative study traces Jewish Christian and Muslim scriptural interpretation from antiquity to modernity with special emphasis on the pivotal medieval period. It focuses on three areas: responses in the different faith traditions to tensions created by the need to transplant scriptures into new cultural and linguistic contexts; changing conceptions of the literal sense and its importance vis--vis non-literal senses such as the figurative spiritual and midrashic; and ways in which classical rhetoric and poetics informed - or were resisted in - interpretation. Concentrating on points of intersection the authors bring to light previously hidden aspects of methods and approaches in Judaism Christianity and Islam. This volume opens new avenues for interdisciplinary analysis and will benefit scholars and students of biblical studies religious studies medieval studies Islamic studies Jewish studies comparative religions and theory of interpretation.
