This volume showcases a wide range of contemporary approaches to
the identification of literary structures within Qur'anic surahs.
Recent academic studies of the Qur'an have taken an increasing
interest in the concept of the surah as a unity and, with it, the
division of complete surahs into consecutive sections or parts.
Part One presents a series of case studies focussing on individual
Qur'anic surahs. Nevin Reda analyzes the structure of Surat Al
'Imran (Q 3), Holger Zellentin looks at competing structures within
Surat al-'Alaq (Q 96), and A.H. Mathias Zahniser provides an
exploration of the ring structures that open Surat Maryam (Q 19).
Part Two then focusses on three discrete aspects of the text. Nora
K. Schmid assesses the changing structural function of oaths,
Marianna Klar evaluates how rhythm, rhyme, and morphological
parallelisms combine in order to produce texture and cohesion,
while Salwa El-Awa considers the structural impact of connectives
and other discourse markers with specific reference to Surat Taha
(Q 20). The final section of the volume juxtaposes contrasting
attitudes to the discernment of diachronic seams. Devin Stewart
examines surah-medial oracular oaths, Muhammad Abdel Haleem
questions a range of instances where suggestions of disjointedness
have historically been raised, and Nicolai Sinai explores the
presence of redactional layers within Surat al-Nisa' (Q 4) and
Surat al-Ma'idah (Q 5). Bringing a combination of different
approaches to Qur'an structure into a single book, written by
well-established and emerging voices in Qur'anic studies, the work
will be an invaluable resource to academics researching Islam,
religious studies, and languages and literatures in general.
