Jesus in the Qur'an

 Jesus in the Qur'an,
[A5] Paperback - 187 pages,
by Geoffrey Parrinder.

 
Product Description :

Written for both Christians and Muslims, for specialists as well as general readers, this book offers a study of Qur'anic teachings about the birth, life, work, death and resurrection of Prophet Jesus [Isa 'alayhis salam].  


The author explores all 93 verses in the Qur'an in which Jesus is mentioned, setting them in the context of the work as a whole and drawing parallels with the Christian gospels wherever possible.

 
Professor Parrinder says in his conclusion; 

"It is too easily assumed that all traditional doctrines are firmly based on the Bible. The Semitic view of God may need to be cleared of some Greek theories that have overlaid it. ... Terms like Son of God, Trinity and Salvation need to be re-shaped and given new point. Concepts of prophecy, inspiration and revelation must be re-examined in view of the undoubted revelation of God in Muhammad and in the Qur'an." (p. 173). 


' A really excellent and objective survey.' ---The Guardian.
