Summary note

"In Interpreting the Qurʼān with the Bible, R. Michael McCoy III brings together two lesser known yet accomplished commentators on the Qurʼān and the Bible: the muʻtabir Abū al-Ḥakam ʻAbd al-Salām b. al-Išbīlī (d. 536/1141), referred to as Ibn Barraǧān, and qāriʼ al-qurrāʼ Ibrāhīm b. ʻUmar b. Ḥasan al-Biqāʻī (d. 885/1480). In this comparative study, comprised of manuscript analysis and theological exegesis, a robust hermeneutic emerges that shows how Ibn Barraǧān's method of naẓm al-Qurʼān and al-Biqāʻī's theory of ʻilm munāsabāt al-Qurʼān motivates their reading and interpretation of the Arabic Bible. The similarities in their quranic hermeneutics and approach to the biblical text are astounding as each author crossed established boundaries and pushed the acceptable limits of handling the Bible in their day"-- Provided by publisher.
