The Qur'an and the Bible: Text and Commentary
Autor Gabriel Said Reynolds Traducere de Ali Quli Qaraien Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 iun 2018
“Enormously helpful as a way not just into an unknown text but into another religious tradition.”—Adam Gopnik, New Yorker
While the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are understood to be related texts, the sacred scripture of Islam, the third Abrahamic faith, has generally been considered separately. Noted religious scholar Gabriel Said Reynolds draws on centuries of Qur’ānic and Biblical studies to offer rigorous and revelatory commentary on how these holy books are intrinsically connected.
Reynolds demonstrates how Jewish and Christian characters, imagery, and literary devices feature prominently in the Qur’ān, including stories of angels bowing before Adam and of Jesus speaking as an infant. This important contribution to religious studies features a full translation of the Qur’ān along with excerpts from the Jewish and Christian texts. It offers a clear analysis of the debates within the communities of religious scholars concerning the relationship of these scriptures, providing a new lens through which to view the powerful links that bond these three major religions.

Recenzii
“Enormously helpful as a way not just into an unknown text but into another religious tradition.”—Adam Gopnik, New Yorker
“Magisterial.”—Eric Ormsby, Wall Street Journal
“A stunningly learned work, bringing together a truly impressive set of written, extra-Qur’anic witnesses and parallels to passages in the Qur’an.”—Jack Miles, Los Angeles Review of Books
“[A] clear analysis of the debates within the communities of religious scholars concerning the relationship of these scriptures, providing a new lens through which to view the powerful links that bond these three major religions.”—Salzburger Theologischen Zeitschrift journal
“Bracingly fresh and direct. . . . A deeply informative . . . resource for those eager to push past stereotypes into the very heart of the Islamic tradition—and to discover its roots in the traditions with which it has always been in tension.”—Luke Timothy Johnson, Commonweal
“[A] rare combination of first-rate scholarship and immense readability. Readers will be fascinated by Reynolds’s investigation of the echoes and parallels of familiar Judeo-Christian characters in the unfamiliar setting of the Qur’an’s literary world.”—Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor
“An important resource for anyone who wants to grasp the deep, organic connections between these two sacred books and among the three Abrahamic faiths.”—Bill Tammeus, Faith Matters (blog)
“A marvelous compilation that will reward repeated consultation, as well as a compelling argument for reading the Qur’an in the context of late antiquity. . . . The most valuable aspect of this work is that it enfolds the Qur’an into the ongoing development of biblical tradition.”—F. Volker Greifenhagen, Reading Religion
“[Reynolds] has done a masterful job. . . . This book is a great reference for anyone serious about studying the Qur’an to gain an understanding of the relationship between Islam and its Judeo-Christian predecessors.”—Ejaz Naqvi, Christian Century
“I am humbled by the immense task undertaken by Reynolds, an erudite and engaging scholar. . . . A worthy and stimulating intellectual challenge for inquisitive minds.”—Meira Polliack, Review of Biblical Literature
“Intriguing . . . a profitable place for interfaith dialogue to develop between members of the Abrahamic religions.”—Stephen Burg, Marginalia
“Reynolds has written a massive reference work, manifestly useful, and completely unique among those that examine the Qur’an and the Bible together.”—David Penchansky, Catholic Biblical Quarterly
“While this is a large volume . . . it is also a valuable one, especially for biblical and qur’anic scholars, as well as for those interested in comparative textual hermeneutics and interpretation.”—Jane McAuliffe, Theological Studies
“Reynolds does a fine job of identifying and discussing the connections between hundreds of Quran passages and material found in the Bible and elsewhere. . . . [A book of] immense value and usefulness.”—John Kaltner, Journal of the American Oriental Society
“Gabriel Said Reynolds is one of the most accomplished, most exciting voices working in the field of Qur’ānic studies, and The Qur’ān and the Bible is his best book to date. This commentary will be read and re-read for years to come.”—Reza Aslan, author of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth and God: A Human History
“This book fills a gaping hole to revelatory effect. Essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between the Qur’ān and the religious context of late antiquity.”—Tom Holland, author of In the Shadow of the Sword
“While both believers and adversaries tend to see Islam as a stand-alone religion, it actually rests on the Judeo-Christian tradition. Gabriel Said Reynolds demonstrates this with great erudition, by re-reading the Qur’ān in ‘conversation’ with the Bible, in this impressive and thought-provoking book.”—Mustafa Akyol, contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and author of Islamic Jesus
“Gabriel Reynolds’s concise commentary on the Qur’ān text offers an indispensable key to many parallel Biblical and para-Biblical traditions and clarifies the Qur’ān’s unique relationship to these earlier traditions and texts.”—Fred M. Donner, University of Chicago
“Gabriel Reynolds is one of the world’s leading Qur’ānic scholars, and this learned and readable commentary sheds great light on the religious impulses that shaped Islam at its beginnings and on the relationship between Muslims, Jews, and Christians in Muhammad’s day.”—Gary A. Anderson, author of Charity: The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition
