Oralité et écriture dans la Bible et le Coran
Auteur(s):
Philippe Cassuto & Pierre Larcher, dir.
Date de parution: 2014 trimestre 4
Ce volume rassemble des études reflétant différentes approches possibles de l’oralité et de l’écriture et de leurs rapports dans les domaines biblique et coranique. La première partie aborde les questions de l’articulation du texte écrit et du texte lu de la Bible, la cantilation du texte biblique, les rapports complexes qu’entretiennent oral et écrit dans le texte coranique et le caractère désordonné de leur relation. Dans la seconde section, sont étudiés le vocabulaire utilisé par le Coran pour parler de lui-même, la genèse, la transmission et la fixation du Coran, à travers les sources musulmanes, dont la lecture critique conduit à la conclusion d’une interaction de l’oralité et de l’écriture à toutes les étapes du processus. Enfin, la troisième partie traite de la figure du prophète biblique Élie, dont la dilatation dans la tradition juive puis les sources chrétiennes orientales a pu servir de modèle, par transposition, à la prophétologie coranique.

At Samford, Another Party Heard From
By Jeremy Bauer-Wolf. As Samford University has refused to recognize a student group sympathetic to gay rights, its members have not materialized to discuss the issue publicly -- perhaps unsurprising, given the university's decision.
