In this volume the author examines the origins of Arabic linguistics on the basis of the earliest Qur nic commentaries (1st half of the 8th century A.D.). The material used includes both edited texts and manuscript commentaries.Various chapters analyze the exegetical methods of the early commentators (such as Muq til and Muh ammad al-Kalb ) and their use of grammatical terminology. These data are compared with the earliest grammatical treatises (Such as S bawayhi and Farr ).The material presented here constitutes an important source of evidence for the development of linguistic thinking in Islam and the origin of the grammatical schools of Basra and Kufa.
The Qur'an is the living source of all Islamic teaching, and is of singular importance to those interested in Islam and the study of religions. Despite this, there exists a long-felt lack of research tools for English first-language speakers who wish to access the Qur'an in the original Arabic. The Dictionary of Qur'anic Usage is the first comprehensive, fully-researched and contextualised Arabic-English dictionary of Qur'anic usage, compiled in accordance with modern lexicographical methods by scholars who have a lifelong immersion in Qur'anic Studies. Based on Classical Arabic dictionaries and Qur'an commentaries, this work also emphasises the role of context in determining the meaning-scatter of each vocabulary item. Illustrative examples from Qur'anic verses are provided in support of the definitions given for each context in which a particular word occurs, with cross-references to other usages. Frequently occurring grammatical particles are likewise thoroughly explained, insofar as they are used in conveying various nuances of meaning in the text.

Informed by postmodern theory, postcolonial inquiry, and Asian American studies, this volume probes the relationship between Mark's apocalyptic and colonial politics, and calls attention to both the anti-colonial and neo-colonial elements within Mark's representations of authority, agency, and gender.

Vincent Leitch (xii) points out, even in the heyday of formalism within the broader
circle of literary studies, other voices and practices still persisted, although often
in diminished scope. 1 While I generally agree with Brueggemann's observations
, I think his understanding of the relationship between biblical interpretations and
the larger socio- cultural and intellectual trends is too one-dimensional or ...

This work includes essays on aspects of Judaism in the Greco-Roman world.They derive from the author's long-standing interests in the analysis of texts as documents of cultural and religious interaction.
... Judaism had a high religious profile,70 and we need not be surprised to see
this echoed in social contacts and mutual esteem. It is striking that the two
archisynagogoi and the archon who are together honoured in the renovation
inscription are presented with gilded shields, which is a form of recognition quite
uncharacteristic of Jewish epigraphy. There is no real problem in conceiving of a
non-Jew being given archisynagogal standing. Momigliano's depiction of

In Creation, Covenant, and the Beginnings of Judaism, Ari Mermelstein examines Second Temple writers who described creation, rather than a historical event, as the beginning of Jewish history in order to resolve a perceived sense of temporal rupture with Israel’s covenantal past.
