商品描述

This is the first book to examine how pre-Islamic/Late Antique goddesses shaped the Qur'an, including its basic theology and cosmology. Exploring the traces found in the text of cultic veneration to goddesses of Arabia and the Ancient Near East, this book analyses what these traces tell us about female power in late antique Arabia, and how this power changed on the advent of Islam. While recent studies on the Qur'anic God have typically considered the question of divinity separately from gender, this book bridges the gap between these two questions, and is therefore an essential constructive mission. This mission adduces literary and documentary evidence--including recent scholarly revolutions in Syriac literature and Arabian epigraphy--and builds upon the critical insights of preceding studies in conversation with post-biblical and Near Eastern traditions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是第一本探討前伊斯蘭/晚期古代女神如何塑造《古蘭經》,包括其基本神學和宇宙觀的書籍。這本書探索了文本中對阿拉伯和古近東女神的崇拜痕跡,分析這些痕跡告訴我們有關晚期古代阿拉伯女性權力的情況,以及這種權力在伊斯蘭興起後的變化。儘管近期對《古蘭經》中神的研究通常將神性問題與性別問題分開考量,但這本書彌合了這兩個問題之間的鴻溝,因此是一項重要的建設性任務。這項任務引證了文學和文獻證據,包括近期在敘利亞文學和阿拉伯碑文方面的學術革命,並基於前期研究的關鍵見解,與後聖經及近東傳統進行對話。
