The Cross of Christ: Foundational Islamic Perspectives takes an
in-depth look at all of the medieval Muslim scholars considered to
have affirmed Jesus' crucifixion. Each chapter provides the
important historical and intellectual context for the commentators.
As well, critical new translations of key texts are provided,
offering important access to vital documents and schools of
thought. The author argues that, rather than affirming the
historicity of the crucifixion, the Isma'ilis tend to assume its
historicity, in order to advance important Isma'ili doctrines. The
author also contends that the commentators who explored ways to
affirm the crucifixion, nonetheless made extensive use of
traditional substitution legends that deny the crucifixion. In
order to orient the reader, the book starts by introducing the
reader to the Jesus of the Qur'an. It then compares him to the
Jesus of the New Testament and the Jesus of extra canonical
literature. Upon this Qur'anic skeleton, the author layers a myriad
of details found in seventeen works of classic Islamic literature,
so that a truly unique, authentic and authoritative Jesus of Islam
emerges.
