Project description
Studying the Qur’an within the Jewish and Christian traditions
Western approaches to the theory and methodology of interpretation tend to focus on how the Qur’an is influenced by Judaism and Christianity. The EU-funded QaSLA project proposes a new approach that completes and redefines the relationship between these religions. It considers the Qur’an as a witness to the history of Judaism and Christianity taking into consideration the different cultural aspects of Judaism and Christianity in the Arabic Peninsula, the Middle East and eastern Africa in Late Antiquity. Since there is no comparable witness, it will outline the religious environment of the Arabian Peninsula and propose a new perspective to approach the development of Late Antiquity Jewish and Christian traditions.
