Abstract

Abstract This article applies a historical-contextualist approach to analyzing the Joseph sūra of the Qur’an. It first explores the theoretical framework of this study and introduces the historical-contextualist methodology employed and then provides a brief explanation of the Qur’anic account of the story of Joseph. The Joseph sūra is analyzed in light of the context of its revelation and the use it makes of fundamental Qur’anic teachings. This article demonstrates that the revelation of the sūra of Joseph was closely related to the sociopolitical context in which Muhammad and the Muslims lived, and that the sūra highlights several fundamental theological teachings of the Qur’an, including God’s unity and omnipotence, revelation and prophethood, and the afterlife, all themes emphasized in earliest sūras of the Qur’an including those revealed before the Joseph sūra.
《古兰经》约瑟章的历史语境论研究
摘要本文运用历史语境主义的方法来分析《古兰经》中的约瑟。它首先探讨了本研究的理论框架,介绍了所采用的历史语境主义方法,然后简要解释了《古兰经》对约瑟夫故事的描述。《约瑟书》是根据其启示的背景及其对古兰经基本教义的使用进行分析的。这篇文章表明,约瑟夫的启示与穆罕默德和穆斯林生活的社会政治背景密切相关,并强调了《古兰经》的几个基本神学教义,包括上帝的统一和全能、启示和预言,以及来生,《古兰经》最早的súras中强调的所有主题,包括在Joseph súra之前揭示的主题。

期刊介绍: Open Theology is an international Open Access, peer-reviewed academic journal that welcomes contributions written in English addressing religion in its various forms and aspects: historical, theological, sociological, psychological, and other. The journal encompasses all major disciplines of Theology and Religious Studies, presenting doctrine, history, organization and everyday life of various types of religious groups and the relations between them. We publish articles from the field of Theology as well as Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology of Religion and also dialogue between Religion and Science. The Open Theology does not present views of any particular theological school nor of a particular religious organization. The contributions are written by researchers who represent different religious views. The authors present their research concerning the old religious traditions as well as new religious movements. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of Theology and Religious Studies. The journal seeks also to provide researchers, pastors and other interested persons with the fruits of academic studies.
