This comprehensive two-volume work sets out to achieve a groundbreaking endeavor: crafting a synthetic history of Muslim responses to the Bible, spanning from the inception of Islam to the present day. By seamlessly blending scholarly expertise with a compelling narrative, the book aims to unravel the intricate story of Muslim engagement with the sacred text.
The study encompasses a wide range of perspectives, including Sunnī, Imāmī Shī ī, and Ismā īlī, providing a scholarly overview of three key areas of Muslim response: ideas of corruption, the utilization of the Biblical text, and the abrogation of the text. Each historical period is carefully examined, highlighting the prominent figures and dominant trends while also acknowledging the existence of exceptions. The exploration of the interplay between using and critiquing the Bible is central, shedding light on how the emphasis on these two approaches fluctuates across different eras and geographical locations.
The study engages critically with existing scholarship, scrutinizing prevailing views on the subject and illuminating an important dimension of interfaith dialogue. Through its meticulous research and insightful analysis, this work contributes significantly to our understanding of the complex and multifaceted relationship between Muslims and the Bible, offering valuable insights for scholars, researchers, and individuals interested in exploring the rich tapestry of religious interactions.
