Through extensive textual analysis, this open access book reveals
how various passages of the Qur'an define death and resurrection
spiritually or metaphorically. While the Day of Resurrection is a
major theme of the Qur'an, resurrection has largely been
interpreted as physical, which is defined as bones leaving their
graves. However, this book shows that the Qur'an sometimes alludes
to death and resurrection in a metaphoric manner - for example,
rebuilding a desolate town, typically identified as Jerusalem, and
bringing the Israelite exiles back; thus, suggesting awareness and
engagement with Jewish liturgy. Many times, the Qur'an even speaks
of non-believers as spiritually dead, those who live in this world,
but are otherwise zombies. The author presents an innovative theory
of interpretation, contextualizing the Qur'an within Late Antiquity
and traces the Qur'anic passages back to their Biblical,
extra-biblical and rabbinic subtexts and traditions. The eBook
editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND
