Isi artikel

The attacks on the United States in September 2001 and all that has flowed from them have increased the urgency for informed dialogue between Christians and Muslims. The Muslim Jesus is a significant contribution to this task. It presents, in English translation, 303 sayings or stories of Jesus found within Arabic Islamic literature and assembled together by Tarif Khalidi, formerly Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic at Cambridge, and now holding the Sheikh Zahed Chair in Arabic and Islamic Studies at the American University of Beirut. Dating from the eighth to the eighteenth centuries, they range from sayings of just a few sentences to stories of several hundred words. This is not the first attempt to produce such a collection. Earlier examples include those by Miguel Asin v Palacios (in Pat rologia Orie,ztalis 13 (1919) and 19 (1926)), Hanna Massur (in Al-Masarra 1976, 1977 and 1978) and James Robson (Christ in Islam, 1929). The Muslim Jesus is, however, the largest and most recent collection of the sayings and stories of Jesus, presenting them in an accessible and fresh way, and with a substantial introduction in which Khalidi explains the development of the character of Jesus within the Arabic Islamic literary tradition, and its relationship to the portrait of Jesus to be found within the Qur'an.
