Biblical Receptions of the Muslim Scripture across a Millennium
Focusing on the Qur' n's influence, this study explores its role as a foundational text that shapes biblical translation and interpretation. It challenges the conventional view of the Qur' n as merely responding to the Judeo-Christian tradition, instead highlighting its reciprocal relationship with the Bible. The author argues that the reception of Qur' nic texts has significantly impacted key biblical readings and commentaries, enriching the creative processes and language of Judeo-Christian teachings, known as "kerygma."
The Qur'an & Kerygma situates the Qur'an as the formative foreground to Western literary innovation and biblical exegesis, stretching from late antiquity in the 9th century to postmodernity in the 20th.
