A Qur'anic Apocalypse: A Reading of the Thirty-Three Last Surahs of the Qur'an (International Qur'anic Studies Association Studies in the Qur'an) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The present volume closes a trilogy devoted to the exegesis of the Qur an analyzed according to the principles of Semitic rhetoric, a method of textual analysis developed in the field of biblical studies. It studies the shortest surahs of the Qur'an, which are traditionally dated to the beginnings of the preaching of Muhammad in Mecca. The reference to the initial vision of Muhammad in Surah 81, the point of departure for his career as Prophet, provides the starting point of the study of this group of surahs. The analysis shows that the redactors who assembled the textual fragments of the Qur'an into a book were guided by precise intentions. In the end, it is these intentions that the rhetorical analysis of the text enables us to discover and better understand.

A Qur'anic Apocalypse (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. After having explored the structure of the long sura 5 in his book The Feast (2007), Michael Cuypers applies the same rhetorical analysis to the thirty-three small suras (81 to 114) of the end of the Qur'an. Reading the text using the principles of Semitic rhetoric makes it possible to grasp the internal coherence of each of these suras, and also the semantic links that link them together. These suras (chapters), usually treated as small independent textual units, actually form a semantically coherent set composed of several hierarchical subsets. This results in new interpretations for suras, of which more than one raises questions because of their extreme brevity. Two major themes dominate: eschatology (Day of Judgment and resurrection) and the life of the Prophet, evoked by small discontinuous touches, from the awakening of his prophetic mission to the triumph of his preaching. The rhetorical analysis is enriched by intertextuality, confronting the Koranic text with the sacred literature circulating in late antiquity: the Bible, in the first place, but also several intertestamental writings, the Book of Enoch, the Testament of Moses and others. The image that emerges from these suras, dating from the Meccan era, is that of a messenger in charge of announcing the Day of Judgment. Michael Cuypers applies the principles of Semitic rhetoric - a method of textual analysis developed in the field of biblical studies to the thirty-three small suras (81 to 114) of the Qur'an, making it possible to grasp the internal coherence of the suras, and the semantic links between them.
