Übertragungen heiliger Texte in Judentum, Christentum und Islam

Zusatztext

The canonical texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are characterized - to different degrees - by a status of inalterability, though they constantly require exegesis for changing audiences. This is one of the reasons why the texts are transferred into other languages or media. The analysis of religious and societal norms in operation for such transfers opens up insights into the respective concepts of the holy texts. This is the approach taken by this volume, which brings together examples from all three Abrahamic religions, and includes case studies from different time periods and cultures (from Alexandria in the third century BCE to contemporary Indonesia). Cumulatively, the contributions show that despite the varying auratization of the canonical texts in each of the religions, the issues for transferring sacred texts are similar across the board.
