Holistic Typology: “Uniting The Dissevered Pieces”: Quranic Retention And Protension In Milton'S Areopagitica And Nativity Ode

Abstract

This article starts from the premise that the sovereignty of traditional typology (murderous typology) operates a discourse of segmentalization and exerts a rapport of exclusivity between [Tanakh-New Testament], thus placing the Holy Book of Islam hors-scène at the very heart of the religions of the Book [Tanakh-New Testament; Qu'ran]. This article attempts therefore to envisage a holistic typology so as to open up both the Scriptures and the (manifestly Judaeo-Christian) Miltonic corpus to quranic theology. Without denying dogmas and doctrines, it will here be a question not just of reading ethically (Areopagitica), but also of detecting the moments-traces of retention and protension in Milton (Nativity Ode), which point towards encounters, and converge to the faith of the Other revealed in the Qu'ran.
