Reading the Bible in Islamic Context

This book explores how an awareness of Islam and the Qur’an can change how the Bible is read. With both Muslim and Christian contributors, the first part 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 part 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 Christians regard the Qur’an? The final part explores different analogies for understanding the Bible in relation to the Qur’an.
