Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of approximately 2100 articles in the fields of literature, philosophy and religion. The vast majority of the articles are focused on Biblical texts, with some focus on the Jewish and Islamic literary and religious traditions. A selection of essays examine themes from a comparative religious perspective, with the authors drawing on their specialism in Jewish, Christian and Islamic studies to bring fresh insights to their subject matter. The volume explores the links between history, archaeology and the textual study of religious traditions, bridging the gap between traditional scholarship and the broader concerns of cultural history. The book presents a thoughtfully curated collection of topics and themes from three interrelated religious traditions and will be a valuable resource for scholars and students in the field of comparative religion.
