Religious Perspectives in Modern Muslim and Jewish Literatures is a
unique comparative study of related literatures. It cuts across
traditions, ages and cultures. Jewish literature goes back over two
thousand years and the first text of Muslim literature, the Qur'an,
took form in the early 7th century. The editors of this book focus
on the last two hundred years of the historical spectrum of Muslim
and Jewish literature, bringing together high-quality contributions
with regard to the time frame and subject matter concerned.
Religion and religiosity in the two forms of literature are
reflected upon - with topics including religious ideas and actions,
religion's teachings, mysticism, religious identity, uses made of
sacred texts, controversies and religious polemics, the
relationship of religion and history. Genres considered are poetry,
prose and drama. This is the first book-length study to contrast
and analyse the two literary traditions in detail.
