DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :This lecture will examine the noticeably elevated status and wide range of functions that the Medinan Qur'an, in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs, ascribes to the Qur'anic messenger.  The perceptible discontinuity with the Meccan presentation of Muhammad's role raises the question whether the Medinan Qur'an might be recasting and latching on to pre-existing templates of communal leadership.  Professor Sinai will proprose that the Christian episcopate yields a surprising number of close overlaps.  At the same time, he will also highlight important differences.  In the light of the evidence presented, the Medinan Qur'an emerges as engaged in a sophisticated appropriation of a wide range of late antique predecessor traditions.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=5526
