De Gruyter The Study of Islamic Origins: New Perspectives
Book SynopsisThe study of Islam’s origins from a rigorous historical and social science perspective is still wanting. At the same time, a renewed attention is being paid to the very plausible pre-canonical redactional and editorial stages of the Qur'an, a book whose core many contemporary scholars agree to be formed by various independent writings in which encrypted passages from the OT Pseudepigrapha, the NT Apocrypha, and other ancient writings of Jewish, Christian, and Manichaean provenance may be found. Likewise, the earliest Islamic community is presently regarded by many scholars as a somewhat undetermined monotheistic group that evolved from an original Jewish-Christian milieu into a distinct Muslim group perhaps much later than commonly assumed and in a rather unclear way. The following volume gathers select studies that were originally shared at the Early Islamic Studies Seminar. These studies aim at exploring afresh the dawn and early history of Islam with the tools of biblical criticism as well as the approaches set forth in the study of Second Temple Judaism, Christian, and Rabbinic origins, thereby contributing to the renewed, interdisciplinary study of formative Islam as part and parcel of the complex processes of religious identity formation during Late Antiquity.

De Gruyter The Latin Qur’an, 1143–1500: Translation,
Book Synopsis In 1143 Robert of Ketton produced the first Latin translation of the Qur’an. This translation, extant in 24 manuscripts, was one of the main ways in which Latin European readers had access to the Muslim holy book. Yet it was not the only means of transmission of Quranic stories and concepts to the Latin world: there were other medieval translations into Latin of the Qur’an and of Christian polemical texts composed in Arabic which transmitted elements of the Qur’an (often in a polemical mode). The essays in this volume examine the range of medieval Latin transmission of the Qur’an and reaction to the Qur’an by concentrating on the manuscript traditions of medieval Qur’an translations and anti-Islamic polemics in Latin. We see how the Arabic text was transmitted and studied in Medieval Europe. We examine the strategies of translators who struggled to find a proper vocabulary and syntax to render Quranic terms into Latin, at times showing miscomprehensions of the text or willful distortions for polemical purposes. These translations and interpretations by Latin authors working primarily in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Spain were the main sources of information about Islam for European scholars until well into the sixteenth century, when they were printed, reused and commented. This volume presents a key assessment of a crucial chapter in European understandings of Islam.

De Gruyter Conciliation in the Qurʾan: The Qurʾanic Ethics of Conflict Resolution
Book SynopsisConciliation in the Qurʾan addresses an existing imbalanced focus in Islamic Studies on conflict in the Qurʾan, and moves beyond a restrictive approach to ṣulḥ (reconciliation) as a mediation process in fragmented social contexts. The book offers a critical analysis of conciliation as a holistic concept in the Qurʾan, providing linguistic and structural insight based on the renowned pre-modern Arabic exegesis of Al-Rāzī (d. 1209) and the under-studied contemporary Urdu exegesis of Iṣlāḥī (d. 1997). This ambitious thematic study of the entire Qurʾan includes an innovative examination of the central ethical notion of iḥsān (gracious conduct), and a challenging discussion of notorious passages relating to conflict. The author offers solutions to unresolved issues such as the significance of the notion of iṣlāḥ (order), the relationship between conciliation and justice, and the structural and thematic significance of Q.48 (Sūrat Al-Fatḥ) and Q.49 (Sūrat Al-Ḥujurāt). Conciliation in the Qurʾan offers a compelling argument for the prevalence of conciliation in the Islamic scripture, and will be an essential read for practitioners in Islamic studies, community integration, conflict-resolution, interfaith dialogue and social justice.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Wie entsteht eine Schrift in der Forschung und in
Book SynopsisIn welchem Verhältnis steht der Koran zur biblischen Tradition? Ist er Teil der für das spätere Europa formativen spätantiken Mittelmeerkultur, oder dominiert in seiner Botschaft "das Eigene", die lokale, kämpferische Kultur Arabiens? Seine Entstehungsgeschichte zeigt, dass er wie die Mischna und das Neue Testament - semantisch Teil der biblischen Tradition ist. Ist er es aber auch hermeneutisch? "Der Koran" ist ja nicht nur historisches Faktum, er ist auch Konstrukt unserer Forschungstradition, seine sehr unterschiedlichen Lektüren bilden zumeist Schulmeinungen ab, die ihm die Zugehörigkeit zu der im Judentum und Christentum entwickelten biblischen Hermeneutik verweigern - eine exklusivistische Position, die sein Verständnis blockiert. Liest man den Koran ohne den Verständnisfilter der monotheistischen Hermeneutik, einfach im Wortsinn, so fallen entscheidende biblisch nicht attestierte Erzählelemente und Argumentationen als fremd aus dem Rahmen. Gerade sie erweisen sich aber bei Anlegung des für die Spätantike typischen Analysekonzepts der Typologie als substantielle Bausteine der sich im Koran spiegelnden Konstruktion einer Gemeindeidentität. Typologie begegnet bei der Hörergemeinde, die biblische Begebenheiten nach-erlebt und sich so selbst zu einem neuen Gottesvolk entwickelt. Typologie begegnet auch beim Verkünder, wenn dieser Mekkas Erwählung zum Geburtsort der neuen Glaubensgemeinschaft als die Erfüllung einer Verheißung Abrahams erkennt. Nicht allein Teilhabe an den biblischen Wissensbeständen, auch Teilhabe an der biblischen Hermeneutik muss dem Koran zuerkannt werden, will man ihn als eine Schrift auf Augenhöhe zu den anderen würdigen. Angelika Neuwirth wendet sich diesen Fragen mit bereits in den Nachbarphilologien erprobten Kriterien (Typologie, Allegorie, Anziehung versus Abstoßung) zu. Sie berücksichtigt dabei auch erstmals die Tatsache der mündlichen Komposition des Koran und damit die Gleichzeitigkeit der Entstehung von Text und Gemeinde.

Brill An Introduction to Islamic Psychology
Book SynopsisContemporary psychology is highly influenced by positivism and scientific naturalism. Psychological studies make efforts to control the variables and provide operational definitions of subjective constructs in order to reach the most concrete conclusions. Such efforts are admirable in natural sciences since they have led to a better life. But, this worldview has deprived contemporary psychology of more qualitative sources of knowledge like waḥy (revelation). The present book introduces Islamic psychology as a paradigm, which can apply waḥy knowledge and consider religious/spiritual dimensions of humans in scientific exploration. The first part discusses the possibility, foundations, and characteristics of Islamic psychology. The second part introduces research methodology in Islamic psychology. The third part reviews the Quranic theory of personality and highlights the concept of shakeleh. Finally, the fourth part presents the theories and methods of religious psychotherapy in the Islamic tradition. Each part provides introductory content for readers interested in Islamic psychology.Table of ContentsForeword Preface Abstract Keywords 1 Possibility, Foundations, and Characteristics of Islamic Psychology 2 Research Methodology in Islamic Psychology 3 Personality 4 Mental Disorders and Psychotherapy Acknowledgments References

Peeters Publishers Dionysius Bar Salibi: A Response to the Arabs
Book SynopsisDionysius bar Salibi's apologetic treatise, "A Response to the Arabs", is the longest and most comprehensive dispute text with Muslims that exists in Syriac. Its main purpose is to acquaint the reader with the essential facts pertaining to Islam and to provide apologetic arguments intended to refute the challenges of Islam to the Christian faith. What sets Bar Salibi's treatise apart from other Syriac dispute texts is the information it contains concerning the history and doctrinal development of Islam.The first two discourses deal with the prophet Muhammad, the emergence of Islam, the "Qurian", and the origins and characteristics of the main Islamic schools of thought. The central beliefs of the Christian faith are explained and defended. The third discourse (chapters 25-30) is made up of the most extensive collection of quotations from the "Qurian" translated into Syriac that exists in any known Syriac dispute text. A parallel column contains Bar Salibi's observations and refutations.
