Christmas and the Qur'an Paperback / softback
by Karl-Josef Kuschel
Part of the Interfaith Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The familiar and heartwarming story of Christmas is one of hope, encapsulated by the birth of the infant Jesus.
It is also a story that unites Christianity and Islam--two faiths that have often been at odds with each other.
The accounts of the Nativity given by the Evangelists Luke and Matthew find their parallels in Surahs 3 and 19 of the Qur'an, which take up the Annunciation to Mary, the Incarnation from the Holy Spirit, and the Nativity.
Christmas and the Qur'an is a sensitive and precise analysis of the Christmas story as it appears in the Gospels and the Qur'an.
Karl-Josef Kuschel presents both scriptures in a convincing comparative exegesis and reveals startling similarities as well as significant differences.
Kuschel explores how Christians and Muslims read these texts and reveals an intertwining legacy that serves as a base for greater understanding.
Without leaving the realm of theology, Kuschel approaches his analysis in a theocentric way by emphasizing the shared belief that God is almighty, which, he argues, can act as a healing suture between Christianity and Islam.
Christmas and the Qur'an gives the reader the chance to remember the message of hope that the birth of Jesus brings and invites to a dialogue between Muslims and Christians.
