Infos

Bringing together scholars from across the world, this publication shows Christians and Muslims - individually or together - reading the canonical Gospels of the New Testament in 'conversation' with Islamic texts and contexts.In the discovery of meaning between text, context and praxis, this volume asks 'what are the texts doing?' in contexts as far flung as Indonesia, the Hijaz of early Islam, in Persian poetry of medieval times or modern Sunni interpretation in north America. This second edited volume in the series Reading the Bible in Islamic Context, continues the pioneering venture in contextual and intertextual reading. It shows the richness of cooperative scholarship that results from reading the New Testament in Islamic context, and exploring how the Gospel is understood in various religious traditions.The Gospels in Islamic Context will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners, encouraging them to explore new methods for taking into account intertextual factors as well as the history of Muslim-Christian relations that arises from them. It is a venture in which Muslims and Christians travel side by side and in conversation with each other, although with significantly different perspectives and often different agendas.
