Beschreibung
Judaism, Christianity and Islam - the three scriptural monotheisms, still often studied separately - are here intertwined within a historical frame. The approach outlined in this lecture pivots around the Qur'an as it emerged in seventh-century Arabia on the peripheries of the two world-empires of Iran and Rome, and variously refracts rabbinic Judaism and patristic - especially Syriac - Christianity. The formation and exegesis of scriptural canons helps define the major religious communities and identities both before and after Muhammad. The latter part of the lecture concentrates on the interaction of these communities, and especially their scholars, in the Abbasid Baghdad of the ninth and tenth centuries, and on the theological and philosophical debates that flourished there. The lecture interrogates the newly fashionable concept of 'Abrahamic' religion and proposes a fresh historical periodization inclusive of both late antiquity and Islam, namely the First Millennium.

Über den Autor
Garth Fowden was educated at the University of Oxford and spent most of his career at the National Research Foundation in Athens, before taking up the Sultan Qaboos Chair of Abrahamic Faiths at the University of Cambridge in 2013. His main interest is in repositioning Islam at the focus rather than the periphery of Eurasian history.
Zusammenfassung
This lecture heralds a major synthetic history of the religious and intellectual movements of the First Millennium, aimed at a wide non-academic audience. The book will place Islam at the focus of developments at the end of antiquity, not at their periphery as hitherto.
