Carlos Andrés Segovia

Carlos Andrés Segovia, 2nd Marquis of Salobreña (born 22 May 1970 in London, United Kingdom) is a philosopher and a historian of Second Temple Judaism, early Christianity, and formative Islam.

He is Lecturer in Islamic studies at Saint Louis University, ^[1] Associate Professor of religious studies at the Camilo José Cela University in Madrid (Spain),^[2] member of the Board of Directors of the learned society The Enoch seminar: International Scholarship on Second Temple Judaism, Christian, Rabbinic, and Islamic Origins,^[3] Associate Editor of 4 Enoch: The Online Encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism (Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Origins),^[4] and Co-Chair of the Early Islamic Studies Seminar: International Scholarship on the Qur'ān and Islamic Origins.^[5] His approach to early Islam makes him a representative of the Revisionist School of Islamic Studies.

He is the author of The Quranic Noah and the Making of the Islamic Prophet: A Study of Intertextuality and Religious Identity Formation in Late Antiquity,^[6] has translated into Spanish and commented inter alia the works of Avicenna, Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari and Mulla Sadra, and currently works both on the Jewish-Christian setting of formative Islam and on early Jewish and Christian literature, including the Pauline epistles, which following the Radical New Perspective on Paul set forth in the past decades by scholars such as Krister Stendahl and Lloyd Gaston,^[7] he regards as the writings of a Torah-observant Jew claiming for the ingathering of the nations to a restored Israel.

Since 2012 he chairs the International Research Seminar Rethinking the Making of a Difference: Jewish-Christian Boundary Drawing in Late Antiquity hosted at the Xavier Zubiri Foundation in Madrid (Spain).^[8]

He is the youngest child of the celebrated classical guitarist Andrés Segovia, the first Marquis of Salobreña.^[9]
