Janna

Janna

… [Tanaka Awa]
[Islam]
In the Islamic world, the term bustan (meaning "fragrant place"), derived from the Persian language, has been widely used to refer to gardens, but this word can also refer to vegetable gardens or orchards. There are many words that refer to gardens, such as janna, firdaus, rauḍa, bāgh, and ḥadīqa, which also mean paradise. Most of the countries in Western Asia and North Africa, which are the centers of the Islamic world, are located in arid regions, and settlements are surrounded by barren desert or wilderness.

From Heaven

In particular, the issue of the representation of paradise in the New Testament and its interpretation (demythologization), proposed by the German theologian R. Bultmann, became a major theme among biblical scholars and attracted much attention as a debate over the reinterpretation of ancient cosmology colored by mythological representations. [Yamagata Takao]
[Islam]
In the Quran, heaven is generally called "paradise" (janna), but it is also called "Garden of Eden" (janna 'adn), "Eden" (firdaws), or "Garden of the Final Residence" (janna al-ma'wā). It refers to the paradise in which those who have believed and done good deeds in this world are allowed to live as a reward.

…とりわけドイツの神学者R.ブルトマンの提唱した新約聖書のパラダイスの表象とその解釈をめぐる問題(非神話化)は,聖書学者の主要テーマとなり,神話的表象に彩色された古代宇宙論の再解釈にかかわる論争として大きな注目を集めた。【山形 孝夫】
