The Other Prophet - Jesus in the Qur'an

Jesus is considered one of the most important prophets in Islam. In the Qur'an he is called a sign of God, and yet his position in Islam is different from his status in Christianity. The Other Prophet is an unprecedented attempt to investigate the Qur'anic Jesus from both Muslim and Christian perspectives, and allows us to extend our understanding of Jesus and his message. This book has three principal goals: to chronicle various debates surrounding Jesus in the Qur'an and consider how a detailed analysis might contribute to the productive coexistence of Christians and Muslims today; to demonstrate the great hermeneutic importance of studying Christology for an enhanced understanding of the Qur'an; and, lastly, to show how an examination of the Qur'an for Christians can deepen and purify their faith in Jesus.
