It builds upon the work of traditional Muslim scholars, including al-Biqā'ī (d. ca. 808\/1460) and al-Suyūṭī (d. 911\/1505), who wrote books examining connections between the Qur'ān on the one hand, and Biblical passages and Aramaic terminology on the other, as well as modern western scholars, including Sidney Griffith who argue that pre-Islamic Arabs accessed the Bible in Aramaic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Qur'ān and the Aramaic Gospel Traditions examines the history of religious movements in the Middle East from 180-632 CE, explaining Islam as a response to the disunity of the Aramaic speaking churches. It then compares the Arabic text of the Qur'ān and the Aramaic text of the Gospels under four main themes: the prophets; the clergy; the divine; and the apocalypse. Among the findings of this book are that the articulator as well as audience of the Qur'ān were monotheistic in origin, probably bilingual, culturally sophisticated and accustomed to the theological debates that raged between the Aramaic speaking churches. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArguing that the Qur'ān's teachings and ethics echo Jewish-Christian conservatism, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Religion, History, and Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emran El-Badawi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415821231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415821230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Emran El-Badawi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064962363647,"sku":"9780415821230","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56f44d06-f2ac-46e8-b11e-478b1ff12305.jpg?v=1768672212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quran-and-the-aramaic-emran-el-badawi-9780415821230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
