In this book, a leading British Muslim scholar examines the most recent research and its implications for Jesus scholarship and for the churches, as they seek to reinterpret Jesus for the new age.

Her conclusions are that the historical Jesus emerges as a figure far more glorious than the Christ defined in the formulas of medieval Christianity, which were influenced heavily by Greek philosophy and mystery religions whose beliefs hold little appeal for the modern mind.

Few Muslims have meditated deeply on Christian origins. This groundbreaking work shows how modern Christian and Muslim scholarship is drawing together, bringing hope of future reconciliation and dialogue between the two largest world faiths.

REVIEW

This book can be the starting point for a scholarly dialogue between unbiased Christians and Muslims…Such books are a bridge between faiths.
