项目摘要

Quranic studies, a vibrant field of research essential to the humanities and to contemporary culture, is deeply polarized roughly along the same lines that defined biblical studies in the past two centuries: one camp holds the Quran to be revealed verbatim, while the other camp operates within a historicizing paradigm focusing on origins and external influence. Putting it crudely, one could argue that the extreme adherents to the traditional approach do not allow any challenges to the integrity of the text and instead focus on medieval commentaries, while the extreme adherents of the revisionist approach hardly grants the text any degree of cohesion and autonomy and instead sees it as the barely cohereing imitation of specific aspects of preceding religious movements.The key to moving the discussion forward may be found in a middle position which, on the one hand, recognizes the coherent hermeneutics and intellectual independence of the Quran, and on the other hand recognizes that the Quran stands in a demonstrable continuous intellectual tradition with previous religious movements. The fact that the Quran explicitly affirms its own traditional nature allows for such a moderate approach. As a scholar trained broadly in the history and literature of Late Antique Judaism, Christianity, and early Islam, I bring a specific perspective to the study of the Quran that allows me to argue for a new field of inquiry, focusing on "deep" continuities between Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Syriac and Arabic literature from Late Antiquity to the Quran. My innovative approach to the Quran is complemented by a simultaneous re-examination of the ethnic, ritual, and Christological concepts handled in Late Antique literature such as the Didascalia.My research in this field began in 2006. I have presented preliminary results in a series of lectures and a conference dedicated to the subject matter of Jewish and Muslim cultural exchange which I co-organized in Berkeley from 2007 to 2010. The Quran's claim that it is a mere "confirmation of what was before it" (tasdiq alladhi bayna yadayhi, Q. 10:37, 12:111) can indeed be justified by a close examination of the Syriac Didascalia and related documents, a fourth century church order which circulated widely throughout Late Antiquity. In this literature we find specific aspects of many Quranic phrases as well as a broad range of ritual, ethical, legal and Christological concepts which anchor the Quran securely in previous religious tradition.I will be on research leave in the period preceding the proposed AHRC fellowship. I have completed all textual studies and much of the analysis of the collected data already, and have already partially drafted just under half of the chapters of the proposed monograph. The present proposal seeks to evaluate my research results with a cross-disciplinary perspective, through collaboration with leading academic as well as religious scholars on Quranic and Late Antique studies in Europe and the US, and to complete my monograph. I will organize a conference at the University of Nottingham and participate in a seminar under the direction of Gabriel Said Reynolds (Notre Dame). In addition, the project will bring together religious scholars working together with the Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme in order to transmit the research to practitioner groups.

《古兰经》研究是一个充满活力的研究领域，对人文学科和当代文化至关重要，但在过去两个世纪中，《圣经》研究的定义大致相同：一个阵营认为《古兰经》是逐字揭示的，而另一个阵营则在一个历史化的范式中运作，专注于起源和外部影响。粗略地说，人们可以说，传统方法的极端拥护者不允许对文本的完整性提出任何挑战，而是专注于中世纪的评注，而修正主义方法的极端追随者几乎不赠款文本任何程度的凝聚力和自主性，而是将其视为对先前宗教运动特定方面的勉强连贯的模仿。可能会发现在一个中间的位置，一方面，承认连贯的解释学和知识的独立性古兰经，另一方面承认，古兰经站在一个明显的连续知识传统与以前的宗教运动。《古兰经》明确肯定其自身的传统性质，这一事实允许采取这种温和的做法。作为一名在古代晚期犹太教，基督教和早期伊斯兰教的历史和文学方面接受过广泛培训的学者，我为古兰经的研究带来了一个特定的视角，这使我能够为一个新的调查领域辩护，专注于从古代晚期到古兰经的希伯来语，希腊语，阿拉姆语，叙利亚语和阿拉伯语文学之间的“深层”连续性。我对《古兰经》的创新方法是同时重新审视古代晚期文献中处理的种族，仪式和基督论概念，如Didascalia。我在这一领域的研究始于2006年。我在一系列讲座和一个专门讨论犹太人和穆斯林文化交流的主题的会议上提出了初步成果，我从2007年到2010年在伯克利共同组织。《古兰经》声称，它仅仅是“确认什么是在它之前”（tasdiq alladhi bayna yadayhi，Q。10时37分，12时111分）确实可以证明了一个叙利亚Didascalia和相关文件，第四个世纪教会秩序广泛流传在整个古代晚期仔细检查。在这些文献中，我们发现许多古兰经短语的具体方面，以及广泛的仪式，伦理，法律的和基督的概念，其中锚古兰经安全地在以前的宗教传统。我将在研究休假期间之前，拟议的AHRC奖学金。我已经完成了所有的文本研究和对收集到的数据的大部分分析，并且已经部分起草了拟议的专著的一半以下的章节。目前的建议旨在评估我的研究成果与跨学科的角度来看，通过与领先的学术以及宗教学者在古兰经和晚期古董研究在欧洲和美国的合作，并完成我的专著。我将在诺丁汉大学组织一次会议，并参加一个由加布里埃尔·赛义德·雷诺兹（圣母大学）指导的研讨会。此外，该项目还将汇集与剑桥宗教间方案合作的宗教学者，以便将研究成果传播给实践团体。
