- Biography/History:
- Zishan Ghaffar is Professor of Tafsir at the University of Paderborn. He specializes in the Qurʾān's historical-critical exegesis and Islam's early history. Klaus von Stosch is Schlegel-Professor of Systematic Theology at Bonn University. His areas of research include comparative theology, faith and reason, the problem of evil, Christian theology as a response to Islam - esp. Christology -, and theology of the Trinity.
- Summary:
- This volume examines the Rabbinic, Qur’anic and Christian understandings of prophecy from a historical and comparative theological perspective. The Rabbinic perspectives on the phenomenon of prophecy are analyzed in their historical continuity and engagement with the theological traditions of Islam and Christianity. The examination of female prophecy also occupies a central place here. Similarly, several contributors describe the deep roots of Qur’anic prophetology in the Christian and Jewish traditions of Late Antiquity and the Arabic context. Finally, the anthology attempts to reflect on these different theological traditions of prophecy in the Christian, Jewish, and Qur’anic traditions from a comparative theological perspective and to discuss the possible theological significance of this phenomenon in the modern age.
