The Poetics of Iblīs: Narrative Theology in the Qur’an

The Poetics of Iblīs: Narrative Theology in the Qur’an (Harvard Theological Studies)

This volume explores the origins of IblÄ«s as a tragic figure in the Qurâ€™an. Although it is often said that there is no place for tragedy in Islam, Bodmanâ€™s careful examination of the IblÄ«s story shows that the tragic exists even in the Qurâ€™an and forms part of the vision of medieval Sufi mystics and modern social critics alike.
