| Zusammenfassung: | Chapter One: Geography and Religion in the Eastern Mediterranean -- Chapter Two: Levantine Geography, History, and Agrarian Religion -- Chapter Three: Ancient Near Eastern Religion and the Storm-God Baal-Hadad -- Chapter Four: The Hebrew Bible and Elijah -- Chapter Five: Early Christianity and Saint George -- Chapter Six: The Emergence of Islam and Al-Khidr -- Chapter Seven: Eastern Mediterranean Shared Religious History "Geography, Religion, Gods, and Saints in the Eastern Mediterranean explores the influence of geography on religion and highlights a largely unknown story of religious history in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the Levant, agricultural communities of Jews, Christians, and Muslims jointly venerated and largely shared three important saints or holy figures: Jewish Elijah, Christian St. George, and Muslim al-Khiḍr. These figures share 'peculiar' characteristics, such as associations with rain, greenness, fertility, and storms. Only in the Eastern Mediterranean are Elijah, St. George, and al-Khiḍr shared between religious communities, or characterized by these same agricultural attributes - attributes that also were shared by regional religious figures from earlier time periods, such as the ancient Near Eastern Storm-god Baal-Hadad, and Levantine Zeus. This book tells the story of how that came to be, and suggests that the figures share specific characteristics, over a very long period of time, because these motifs were shaped by the geography of the region. Ultimately, this book suggests that regional geography has influenced regional religion; that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are not, historically or textually speaking, separate religious traditions (even if Jews, Christians, and Muslims are members of distinct religious communities); and that shared religious practices between members of these and other local religious communities are not unusual. Instead, shared practices arose out of a common geographical environment and an interconnected religious heritage, and are a natural historical feature of religion in the Eastern Mediterranean. This volume will be of interest to students of ancient Near Eastern religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, sainthood, agricultural communities in the ancient Near East, Middle Eastern religious and cultural history, and the relationships between geography and religion"-- |

GEOGRAPHY,
RELIGION, GODS, AND SAINTS IN
THE
EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN
GEOGRAPHY,
RELIGION, GODS,
AND
SAINTS
IN THE
EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN
EXPLORES
THE INFLUENCE
OF
GEOGRAPHY
ON
RELIGION
AND HIGHLIGHTS A
LARGELY
UNKNOWN STORY OF
RELIGIOUS
HISTORY
IN
THE
EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN.
IN
THE
LEVANT,
AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES OF
JEWS,
CHRISTIANS, AND MUSLIMS
JOINTLY
VENERATED AND LARGELY SHARED
THREE
IMPORTANT SAINTS OR HOLY
FIGURES:
JEWISH
ELIJAH,
CHRISTIAN
ST. GEORGE, AND
MUSLIM
AL-KHIDR.
THESE
FIGURES
SHARE 'PECULIAR'
CHARACTERISTICS,
SUCH AS ASSOCIATIONS
WITH
RAIN,
GREENNESS,
FERTILITY,
AND
STORMS.
ONLY
IN
THE
EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN ARE
ELIJAH,
ST. GEORGE, AND
AL-KHIDR
SHARED BETWEEN
RELIGIOUS
COMMUNITIES, OR CHARACTERIZED BY
THESE
SAME AGRICULTURAL
ATTRIBUTES
-
ATTRIBUTES
THAT
ALSO WERE SHARED BY REGIONAL RELIGIOUS FIGURES FROM EARLIER TIME
PERIODS, SUCH AS THE ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN STORM-GOD
BAAL-HADAD,
AND LEVANTINE
ZEUS.
THIS
BOOK
TELLS
THE STORY
OF
HOW
THAT
CAME TO BE, AND
SUGGESTS
THAT
THE FIGURES
SHARE SPECIFIC
CHARACTERISTICS,
OVER A
VERY
LONG
PERIOD
OF
TIME,
BECAUSE
THESE
MOTIFS
WERE SHAPED BY THE
GEOGRAPHY
OF THE REGION.
ULTIMATELY,
THIS BOOK
SUGGESTS
THAT
REGIONAL
GEOGRAPHY
HAS
INFLUENCED
REGIONAL
RELIGION;
THAT
JUDAISM,
CHRISTIANITY,
AND
ISLAM
ARE
NOT,
HISTORICALLY
OR
TEXTUALLY
SPEAKING,
SEPARATE
RELIGIOUS
TRADITIONS
(EVEN
IF
JEWS,
CHRISTIANS,
AND
MUSLIMS
ARE
MEMBERS
OF
DISTINCT
RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES);
AND
THAT
SHARED
RELIGIOUS
PRACTICES BETWEEN
MEMBERS
OF
THESE
AND
OTHER
LOCAL
RELIGIOUS
COMMUNITIES ARE NOT UNUSUAL. INSTEAD, SHARED PRACTICES
AROSE
OUT OF A COMMON
GEOGRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT AND AN INTERCONNECTED RELIGIOUS HERITAGE, AND
ARE A
NATURAL
HISTORICAL
FEATURE
OF
RELIGION
IN
THE
EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN.
THIS
VOLUME
WILL
BE OF INTEREST TO
STUDENTS
OF ANCIENT NEAR
EASTERN
RELIGIONS,
JUDAISM,
CHRISTIANITY,
ISLAM,
SAINTHOOD, AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE ANCIENT
NEAR
EAST,
MIDDLE EASTERN RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL HISTORY, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS
BETWEEN
GEOGRAPHY
AND
RELIGION.

In the Levant, agricultural communities of Jews, Christians, and Muslims jointly venerated and largely shared three important saints or holy figures: Jewish Elijah, Christian St. George, and Muslim al-Khiḍr. These figures share 'peculiar' characteristics, such as associations with rain, greenness, fertility, and storms. Only in the Eastern Mediterranean are Elijah, St. George, and al-Khiḍr shared between religious communities, or characterized by these same agricultural attributes - attributes that also were shared by regional religious figures from earlier time periods, such as the ancient Near Eastern Storm-god Baal-Hadad, and Levantine Zeus. This book tells the story of how that came to be, and suggests that the figures share specific characteristics, over a very long period of time, because these motifs were shaped by the geography of the region. Ultimately, this book suggests that regional geography has influenced regional religion; that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are not, historically or textually speaking, separate religious traditions (even if Jews, Christians, and Muslims are members of distinct religious communities); and that shared religious practices between members of these and other local religious communities are not unusual. Instead, shared practices arose out of a common geographical environment and an interconnected religious heritage, and are a natural historical feature of religion in the Eastern Mediterranean. This volume will be of interest to students of ancient Near Eastern religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, sainthood, agricultural communities in the ancient Near East, Middle Eastern religious and cultural history, and the relationships between geography and religion"-- Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 gnd rswk-swf Levante (DE-588)4196563-2 gnd rswk-swf Religion and geography Middle East / Religion Religion (DE-2581)TH000006497 gbd Christentum (DE-2581)TH000005769 gbd Nachleben in der islamischen Welt (DE-2581)TH000012910 gbd Levante (DE-588)4196563-2 g Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 s Geschichte z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, ebk. 978-0-429-06015-1 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=031987458&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis SWB Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=031987458&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
