Surat Maryam has, in recent decades, been the subject of numerous studies by scholars of Islamology and Qur’anology. The general structure of the sura, however, is not unanimously recognized among researchers, due to certain inconsistencies in rhyme and content of the text. This book takes a literary approach to the Qur’an, following the rules of a method well known in Qur’anic studies – rhetorical analysis. The book first analyses the sura as it appears in the Qur’an today in the Muslim world, before focusing on a large section which shows a great literary unity, isolatable from the rest of the sura. Through the assiduous and detailed reading of the sura, its complex structure is gradually revealed. Other contexts are also considered: first, that of other suras of the Qur’an, if they can shed light on the meaning of the sura under study; and second, that of the Bible or the Jewish and Christian apocrypha.
The book will be of particular interest to scholars working in Qur’anic studies and Biblical studies, and those focused on Christian–Muslim relations.
