Description for Christ in Islam and Christianity: The Representation of Jesus in the Qur’an and the Classical Muslim Commentaries
hardcover. In this work, the figure of Jesus as he is represented in the Qur'an and in classical Muslim commentaries is examined, focusing on the nature of the polemic between the Islamic and Christian communities regarding the significance of both the historical Jesus and question of his divinity. Num Pages: 235 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HRCG; HRH; HRLC1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 23. Weight in Grams: 465.
The way in which Jesus is portrayed in the Qur'an is at times ambiguous and has given rise to a bewildering variety of conflicting interpretations. Neal Robinson first outlines the various Christian approaches to the subject and then explains the principles of Muslim exegesis before looking in detail at what five classical Sunni commentaries say about Jesus' return, the crucifixion, the miracles and the virginal conception. Further chapters examine the same key topics from the viewpoint of Shi'ite and Sufi exegesis.
