In the current political and social climate, there is increasing
demand for a deeper understanding of Muslims, the Qur'an and Islam,
as well as a keen demand among Muslim scholars to explore ways of
engaging with Christians theologically, culturally, and socially.
This book explores the ways in which an awareness of Islam and the
Qur'an can change the way in which the Bible is read. The
contributors come from both Muslim and Christian backgrounds, bring
various levels of commitment to the Qur'an and the Bible as
Scripture, and often have significantly different perspectives. The
first section of the book contains chapters that compare the report
of an event in the Bible with a report of the same event in the
Qur'an. The second section addresses Muslim readings of the Bible
and biblical tradition and looks at how Muslims might regard the
Bible - Can they recognise it as Scripture? If so, what does that
mean, and how does it relate to the Qur'an as Scripture? Similarly,
how might Christian readers regard the Qur'an? The final section
explores different analogies for understanding the Bible in
relation to the Qur'an. The book concludes with a reflection upon
the particular challenges that await Muslim scholars who seek to
respond to Jewish and Christian understandings of the Jewish and
Christian scriptures. A pioneering venture into intertextual
reading, this book has important implications for relationships
between Christians and Muslims. It will be of significant value to
scholars of both Biblical and Qur'anic Studies, as well as any
Muslim seeking to deepen their understanding of the Bible, and any
Christian looking to transform the way in which they read the
Bible.
