The first book to examine the controversial Qur'anic phrase which
divides Christianity and Islam. According to the majority of modern
Muslims and Christians, the Qur'an denies the crucifixion of Jesus,
and with it, one of the most sacred beliefs of Christianity.
However, it is only mentioned in one verse - "They did not kill him
and they did not crucify him, rather, it only appeared so to them"
- and contrary to popular belief, its translation has been the
subject of fierce debate among muslims for centuries. This the
first book devoted to the issue, delving deeply into largely
ignored Arabic sources, which suggest the the origins of the
conventional translation may lie within the Christian Church.
Arranged along historical lines, and covering various Muslim
schools of thought, from Sunni to Sufi, The Crucifixion and the
Qur'an unravels the crucial dispute that separates the World's two
principal faiths.
