In The Semantics of Qur anic Language: al-A h ?ira, Ghassan el Masri offers a semantic study of the concept al-a h ?ira ?the End ? in the Qur a n. The study is prefaced with a detailed account of the late antique concept of etymologia (Semantic Etymology). In his work, he demonstrates the necessity of this concept for appreciating the Qur a n ?s rhetorical strategies for claiming discursive authority in the Abrahamic theological tradition. The author applies the etymological tool to his investigation of the theological significance of al-a h ?ira , and concludes that the concept is polysemous, and tolerates a large variety of interpretations. The work is unique in that it draws extensively on Biblical material and presents a plethora of pre-Islamic poetry verses in the analysis of the concept. No library descriptions found. |
