THE STUDY OF ISLAMIC ORIGINS KARTONIERT (TB)

The study of Islam's origins from a rigorous historical and social science perspective is still
wanting. At the same time  a renewed attention is being paid to the very plausible
pre-canonical redactional and editorial stages of the Qur'an  a book whose core many
contemporary scholars agree to be formed by various independent writings in which encrypted
passages from the OT Pseudepigrapha  the NT Apocrypha  and other ancient writings of Jewish 
Christian  and Manichaean provenance may be found. Likewise  the earliest Islamic community is
presently regarded by many scholars as a somewhat undetermined monotheistic group that evolved
from an original Jewish-Christian milieu into a distinct Muslim group perhaps much later than
commonly assumed and in a rather unclear way. The following volume gathers select studies that
were originally shared at the Early Islamic Studies Seminar. These studies aim at exploring
afresh the dawn and early history of Islam with the tools of biblical criticism as well as the
approaches set forth in the study of Second Temple Judaism  Christian  and Rabbinic origins 
thereby contributing to the renewed  interdisciplinary study of formative Islam as part and
parcel of the complex processes of religious identity formation during Late Antiquity.
