This comparative study traces Jewish, Christian, and Muslim
scriptural interpretation from antiquity to modernity, with special
emphasis on the pivotal medieval period. It focuses on three areas:
responses in the different faith traditions to tensions created by
the need to transplant scriptures into new cultural and linguistic
contexts; changing conceptions of the literal sense and its
importance vis-a-vis non-literal senses, such as the figurative,
spiritual, and midrashic; and ways in which classical rhetoric and
poetics informed - or were resisted in - interpretation.
Concentrating on points of intersection, the authors bring to light
previously hidden aspects of methods and approaches in Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. This volume opens new avenues for
interdisciplinary analysis and will benefit scholars and students
of biblical studies, religious studies, medieval studies, Islamic
studies, Jewish studies, comparative religions, and theory of
interpretation.
