Jesus through Muslim Eyes by Richard Shumack
Dr Shumack explores Muslim belief in Jesus.
I strongly recommend Jesus through Muslim Eyes: if you care about Muslim-Christian relations, this book is significant* Dr Muhammad Kamal, Asia Institute, University of Melbourne *
This is a profound book, written with deceptive simplicity and charm. Its conclusions are fair-minded, provocative - and devastating for any who think simplistically about the Jesus Christ of Christian faith and the Isa ibn Maryam of the Quran. * Dr Shabbir Akhtar, Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford *
In this excellent book, Richard Shumack strikes the perfect balance between academic rigour and accessibility. Its discussion of the Islamic Jesus is lucid, and its application to the needs of Christian readers is highly relevant. * Professor Peter Riddell, Professorial Research Associate, SOAS University of London *
Richard Shumack’s familiarity with Islam gives him the ability to present a true picture of the religion in a way that is not unfair or uncharitable. Rather, he describes for us an accurate picture of how Islam sees and presents Jesus and compares that picture with the Jesus of history. Shumack has a knack for raising interesting questions and thoughtful arguments while expressing them in easy to understand ways. In Jesus Through Muslim Eyes he does just that. * Abdu Murray, author of 'Saving Truth: Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World' *
This is an honest and scholarly analysis of the Muslim Jesus, the Christian Jesus, and the diverging paths Muslims and Christians chose to follow. It brings profound new insights into the historical, philosophical and textual discussions about Jesus. It is an excellent contribution to both contemporary Christian-Muslim dialogue and the historical Jesus. * Anwar Mehammed, head of Islamic Studies at the Ethiopian Theological College, Addis Ababa *
