Popis produktu

The Islamic Mary explores the figure of Mary/Maryamshared between Christians and Muslims. Maryam is revered throughout the Islamic tradition, beginning already in the scripture of the Qur''an. This book examines the varied appearances of Maryam in different Islamic contexts: extending from the mentions of Maryam in the Qur''an and the biography of the Prophet Muhammad, to her appearances in medieval theological debates regarding prophecy, to citations of her virtuous model in Sufi discussions of piety, to her depictions in Islamic art, and up to modern interfaith relations.
