Jesus in the Qur'an

by Geoffrey Parrinder

Overview

An essential introduction to the influence of Jesus in contemporary Qur’anic teachings

In Jesus in the Qur'an, written for both Christians and Muslims, for specialists as well as general readers, Parrinder offers a study of Qur'anic teachings about the birth, life, work, death and resurrection of Jesus. Parrinder explores all ninety-three verses in the Qur'an in which Jesus is mentioned, setting them in the context of the work as a whole and drawing parallels with the Christian gospels wherever possible.
