Paperback. Condition: New. The text of the Qur'an appears to many to be desperately muddled and lacking any coherence. The Composition of the Qur'an provides a systematic presentation of the writing processes (or rhetoric) and argues that there is indeed a coherence to the Qur'anic text. Michel Cuypers shows that the ancient Semitic texts, of which the Qur'an is a part, do not obey the Greek rhetoric and that their basic principle is therefore not progressive linearity, but symmetry which can take several forms, following precise rules. He argues that the knowledge of this rhetorical code allows for a radically new analysis of the structure and rhetoric of the Qur'an. Using copious amounts of examples from the text, The Composition of the Qur'an provides a new theoretical synthesis of Qur'anic rhetoric as well as a methodology for their application in further exegesis. A landmark publication in the field of Qur'anic Studies, this volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Islamic Studies, Religious Studies and Arabic Studies.…

Hardback. Condition: New. 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.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This book studies the composition or structure of Surat Maryam - the 19th sura of the Qur'an - according to the principles of Semitic rhetoric.Surat Maryam has, in recent decades, been the subject of numerous studies by scholars of Islamology and Qur'anology. The general structure of the sura, however, is not unanimously recognized among researchers, due to certain inconsistencies in rhyme and content of the text. This book takes a literary approach to the Qur'an, following the rules of a method well known in Qur'anic studies - rhetorical analysis. The book first analyses the sura as it appears in the Qur'an today in the Muslim world, before focusing on a large section which shows a great literary unity, isolatable from the rest of the sura. Through the assiduous and detailed reading of the sura, its complex structure is gradually revealed. Other contexts are also considered: first, that of other suras of the Qur'an, if they can shed light on the meaning of the sura under study; and second, that of the Bible or the Jewish and Christian apocrypha.The book will be of particular interest to scholars working in Qur'anic studies and Biblical studies, and those focused on Christian-Muslim relations.…
