First Words, Last Words: New Theories for Reading Old Texts in Sixteenth-Century India - AAR Religion in Translation
Bronner, Yigal (Associate Professor, Department of Asian Studies, Associate Professor, Department of Asian Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
First Words, Last Words explores the nature of theoretical innovation in scholastic traditions by focusing on a specific controversy regarding scriptural interpretation in sixteenth-century India. The controversy concerns the role of sequence-what comes first and what comes later-in determining our interpretation of a scriptural passage. Bronner and McCrea trace both the issue of sequence and the question of innovation through an in-depth study of thisdebate and through a comparative survey of similar problems in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revealing that the disputants in this controversy often pretended to uphold traditional views, when they were in fact radically innovative.
