The art of interpreting Holy Scriptures flourished throughout the
culturally heterogeneous pre-modern Orient among Jews, Christians
and Muslims. Different ways of interpretation developed within each
religion not without considering the others. How were the
interactions and how productive were they for the further
development of these traditions? Have there been blurred spaces of
scholarly activity that transcended sectarian borders? What was the
role played by mutual influences in profiling the own tradition
against the others? These and other related questions are
critically treated in the present volume.
This volume opens up new research perspectives on the interplay
between the formation of religious traditions and the criticism
addressed to them in different contexts. The scholarly
investigation of how religious traditions have been criticized,
reconsidered, and modified helps to better understand the
dialectics of continuity and rupture that pervade religious
communities. The exploration of the interactive processes of
emergence, criticism, and reconsideration of religious traditions
not only provides insight into how religions have developed in the
past but also illuminates the present rise of new forms of
religiosity within the framework of postmodernity. Belonging to
different scholarly disciplines such as Religious Studies, Jewish
Studies, Christian Theology, Islamic Studies, History, Philosophy,
and Sociology, and resorting to a broad spectrum of methodological
tools, the authors of this volume delve deep into the realms of
religious reality and shed new light on the dynamics of religious
transformation, past and present.
