Synopsis "With Reverence for the Word: Medieval Scriptural Exegesis in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (in English)"
This volume represents the first trilateral exploration of medieval scriptural interpretation. Judasim, Christianity, and Islam are often characterized as religio-cultural siblings, traditions whose origins can be traced to the same geographical region and whose systems of belief and institutional structures share much in common. A particularly important point of commonality is the emphasis that each of these traditions places upon the notion of divine revelation, especially as codified in the text. During the medieval period the three exegetical traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam produced a vast literature, one of great diversity but also one of numerous cross-cultural similarities. The three sections of this book, each of which begins with an introduction to one of these exegetical traditions, explore this rich heritage of biblical and quar'anic interpretation.
