Witney S. Bodman's 'Poetics of Iblis: Narrative Theology in the Quran' offers a profound academic exploration into the multifaceted character of Iblis (Satan) as depicted within the sacred text of the Quran. This scholarly work meticulously analyzes how the Quran employs narrative strategies to articulate complex theological concepts, using Iblis as a central figure to discuss themes of obedience, rebellion, divine will, and human agency. Bodman delves into the literary and theological dimensions of these narratives, providing fresh insights into the Quranic understanding of evil, free will, and the divine-human relationship. It's an essential read for scholars of Islamic studies, theology, and comparative literature.
