Firestone provides a refreshing, new approach to scriptural issues of textuality, exegesis, and the origins and use of legend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book clearly presents the full range of Islamic legends from the Qur'an and early Islamic exegesis about Abraham's journeys and adventures in the Land of Canaan and Arabia, many of them available for the first time in English translation. The author examines this broad sample of Islamic legends in relation to those found in Jewish, Christian, and pre-Islamic Arabian communities, and postulates an evolutionary journey of the literature. He presents a thorough textual analysis of the material and proposes a model for understanding early Islamic narrative based in literary theory, approaches to comparative religion, and the history of the pre-Islamic and early Islamic Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReuven Firestone\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Hebrew language and literature in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Literature at Boston University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 265\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 05, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42589570498656,"sku":"9780791403327","price":78.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/YVVlanNxQ2xhZHFYcFUxMmo3MkNndz09.webp?v=1771318481","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/journeys-in-holy-lands-the-evolution-of-the-abraham-ishmael-legends-in-islamic-exegesis-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
