The first part of the book studies how, in exhorting its audience to contemplate the world, the Qurn carries on a tradition of natural contemplation that had developed throughout Late Antiquity in the Christian world. In this regard, the analysis suggests particularly striking connections with the mystical and ascetic literature of the Church of the East, which was in effervescence at the time of the emergence of Islam.
The second part argues that the Qurnic cosmological discourse is built so as to serve the overarching theological message of the text, namely Gods absolute unity. Despite the allusive, and sometimes obscure, way in which the Qurn talks about the worlds coming into being and its maintenance in existence, the text betrays its authors acquaintance with cosmological debates of Late Antiquity.
In studying the Qurn through the prism of Late Antiquity, this book contributes to our understanding of the emergence of Islam and its relationship with other religious traditions of the time.
