This book is a study of related passages found in the Arabic Quran and the Aramaic Gospels, i.e. the Gospels preserved in the Syriac and Christian Palestinian Aramaic dialects. It builds upon the work of traditional Muslim scholars, including alBiqai (d. ca. 808/1460) and alSuyu?i (d. 911/1505), who wrote books examining connections between the Quran 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 preIslamic Arabs accessed the Bible in Aramaic.The Quran and the Aramaic Gospel Traditions examines the history of religious movements in the Middle East from 180632 CE, explaining Islam as a response to the disunity of the Aramaic speaking churches. It then compares the Arabic text of the Quran 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 Quran were monotheistic in origin, probably bilingual, culturally sophisticated and accustomed to the theological debates that raged between the Aramaic speaking churches.Arguing that the Qurans teachings and ethics echo JewishChristian conservatism, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Religion, History, and Literature.
