A Place Between Two Places

Autor George Archer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2020
What happens after death but before the final resurrection? This is the intermediate state. For most Muslims, it is called the barzakh, and it is a fantastical and frightening time in the grave. Throughout history and today this belief has been discussed and expressed in many forms: from ¿¿f¿ dreamscapes to theological tests of orthodoxy. But where does the barzakh come from first? In A Place Between Two Places: The Qur¿¿nic Barzakh, George Archer reconstructs the barzakh's early history. Analyzing sixteen of the Qur¿¿n's s¿ras in search of oral formulae, subtextual hints, and concentric parallelisms, the early barzakh is exposed as a response to the saint cults of late antiquity, and most especially, the cult of the divine Christ. From here, the Qur¿¿nic vision of the barzakh is traced forward through later prophetic biographies, Islamic architecture, and the ¿ad¿th literature in order to show how the barzakh developed into the distinctive eschatological claims of the Islamic Middle Ages.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
For believers in a resurrection of the body, there arises the question of what happens after death but before the Last Day: the intermediate state. For most Muslims, the intermediate state is the barzakh. The present study will examine where the belief in the barzakh comes from through a study of the Qur'an.
