Providing an analysis of the complete story of Mary in its
liturgical, narrative and rhetorical contexts, this literary
reading is a prerequisite to any textual reading of the Qur'an
whether juristic, theological, or otherwise. intertextuality
between the Old Testament, New Testament and the Qur'an. The Qur'an
is an oral event, linguistic phenomenon and great literature. So
the application of modern literary theories is essential to have
full comprehension of the history of the development of literary
forms from pre-Islamic period such as poetry, story telling,
speech-giving to the present. In addition, there is a need, from a
feminist perspective, to understand in depth why a Christian mother
figure such as Mary was important in early Islam and in the
different stages of the development of the Qur'an as a
communication process between Muhammad and the early Muslim
community. Introducing modern literary theories, gender perspective
and feminist criticism into Qur'anic scholarship for the first
time, this book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and
researchers of Islamic Studies, Qur'anic and New Testament Studies,
Comparative Literature and Feminist Theology.
