The Mystery Of The Historical Jesus
"The Mystery of the Historical Jesus" takes a scholarly yet accessible approach to exploring the figure of Jesus Christ, known as Isa (A.S.) in Islamic tradition. This book navigates the historical accounts and religious portrayals of Jesus in both Christianity and Islam, providing an in-depth comparative analysis. It contrasts Christian theological views, such as the divinity of Christ and the concept of the Trinity, with the Islamic perspective, which presents Jesus as a revered prophet and messenger of God, but not divine. Through meticulous historical research, the author traces the evolution of Christian beliefs about Jesus and juxtaposes them with the Quranic narrative, which emphasizes Jesus's humanity, his miracles, his prophethood, and his ultimate role in eschatological events. The book also delves into the role of Jesus in interfaith dialogue and his significance in fostering understanding between Muslims and Christians. Whether you're a student of comparative religion, a historian, or someone interested in understanding the shared and divergent views on one of the most pivotal figures in human history, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the 'historical Jesus.' It is a must-read for anyone seeking to unravel the mystery behind the varying depictions of Jesus Christ across religious and cultural lines.
