This book explores Christian origins by examining a key New
Testament epistle, Paul's letter to the Galatian churches, seen by
Christians as the charter of Christian liberty from the inherited
Jewish law. The New Testament in Muslim Eyes provides a close
textual commentary on perhaps the earliest declaration of Paul's
apostleship and of his undying commitment to the risen Christ. It
notes the subtleties of the Greek original against the backdrop of
an exciting glimpse of Quranic Arabic parallels and differences. It
asks: Does Paul qualify as a prophet of Allah (God)? The thoughts
of Paul are assessed by examining his claims against the background
of Islam's rival views of Abraham and his legacy. The Arabic Quran
framed and inspired the life of the Arab Apostle, Muhammad, who was
sent, according to Islam, to all humanity, Jewish and Gentile
alike. Pauline themes are set in dialectical tension with the
claims of the Quran. Akhtar compares and contrasts the two rival
faiths with regard to: the resources of human nature, the salvation
of the sinner, and the status of the works of the law. Both
Christians and Muslims concur on the need for God's grace, an
essential condition of success in the life of faith. The core
Pauline Christian doctrine of justification by faith alone is
scrutinised and assessed from a variety of non-Christian,
especially Islamic, stances. Providing an Islamic view of Christian
origins, this book helps to build bridges between the two
religions. It will be a valuable resource to students and scholars
of Biblical Studies, Islamic Studies, and the Philosophy of
Religion.
