Abstract

ABSTRACT Nicolai Sinai notes the importance of an intertextual study of the Qur’an, observing how the Qur’an adapts and retells biblical and post-biblical stories in line with its own theological concerns. This article investigates the theological adaptation in the Qur’an’s Adam narratives, extending and nuancing earlier qur’anic Adam research. These narratives are examined, noting their distinctive features. Next, a broader qur’anic anthropology is described, before an analysis of whether and how the qur’anic Adam narratives align with this broader qur’anic anthropology. The divergences between the biblical and qur’anic accounts of Adam are studied and three are examined in detail: human responsibility, khalīfa and imago Dei, and divine response. These are shown to have significant theological implications, which are discussed. These divergences are considered in the light of a broader qur’anic anthropology and the Qur’an’s own theological vision. The article shows that, regarding the Adam narratives, the Qur’an’s broader theological vision shapes its individual narratives in a way that contrasts with their biblical and post-biblical antecedents. The theological differences embedded in the biblical and qur’anic Adam stories are best interpreted as representative of two distinct theological visions.
古兰经堕落叙事中的神学人类学:对比研究
Nicolai Sinai注意到古兰经互文研究的重要性,观察古兰经如何根据自己的神学关注点改编和重述圣经和后圣经故事。本文考察了《古兰经》亚当叙事中的神学改编,对早期《古兰经》亚当研究进行了延伸和细化。对这些叙述进行了研究,注意到它们的独特之处。接下来,在分析《古兰经》中亚当的叙述是否和如何与《古兰经》中更广泛的人类学相一致之前,我们描述了一个更广泛的《古兰经》人类学。《圣经》和《古兰经》对亚当的描述之间的分歧进行了研究,并详细检查了三个方面:人类的责任,khal法和神的形象,以及神的反应。这些被证明具有重要的神学含义,这是讨论。这些分歧是根据更广泛的《古兰经》人类学和《古兰经》自己的神学视野来考虑的。这篇文章表明,关于亚当的叙述,古兰经更广泛的神学视野塑造了它的个人叙述,与它们的圣经和后圣经的前身形成了对比。《圣经》和《古兰经》中亚当故事的神学差异最好解释为两种截然不同的神学观点的代表。
