A Theology of Violence: An Analysis of Selected Surahs from the Qur’an
Published as Theologie der Gewalt. Eine Analyse ausgewählter Suren aus dem Koran (Münster: Waxmann, 2026), this book by Hamideh Mohagheghi is the published version of her doctoral thesis (defended in 2019) on the relationship between the Qur’an and violence.
Faith and violence: a theme that challenges many religions, whose revealed texts contain narratives carrying a significant potential for violence. The author examines how violence is addressed in scripture, focusing on two Qur’anic surahs, which she rereads in a historicising and contextualising way, in dialogue with the classical exegetical tradition (tafsīr) and contemporary Qur’anic scholarship.
A contribution to the reflection on violence narratives in sacred texts and their responsible interpretation in a contemporary context.
Paru sous le titre Theologie der Gewalt. Eine Analyse ausgewählter Suren aus dem Koran (Münster : Waxmann, 2026), cet ouvrage de Hamideh Mohagheghi est la version publiée de sa thèse de doctorat (soutenue en 2019) consacrée au rapport du Coran à la violence.
Foi et violence : un thème qui traverse de nombreuses religions, dont les textes de révélation comportent des récits porteurs d’un fort potentiel de violence. L’auteure analyse la manière dont la violence est thématisée dans les Écritures, en concentrant son étude sur deux sourates coraniques, qu’elle relit de façon historicisante et contextualisante, en dialogue avec la tradition exégétique classique (tafsīr) et la recherche coranique contemporaine.
Une contribution à la réflexion sur les récits de violence dans les textes sacrés et sur leur interprétation responsable en contexte contemporain.
