“‘Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel—surely he has brought it down on your heart by the permission of God, confirming what was before it, and as a guidance and good news to the believers.’ Though somewhat cryptic in its language, most scholars believe that this verse refers to the manner in which the Qur’an confirms the Torah of Moses and the Gospel of Jesus.” (Page 77)
“It has borrowed the stories without awareness of or concern for the theology” (Page 120)
“The reception of revelation is not the only thing that sets the Jews apart from other peoples in the Qur’an” (Page 118)
“the Old Testament explicitly and repeatedly states that it is God’s purpose to dwell among his people” (Page 62)

4.5 The book is a helpful survey which I do recommend. If you read it, I would recommend reading it in-tandem with other resources. The author seems to view the Qur'anic author actually understands what the Trinity is, which he/they clearly did not. The Qur'an is riddled with bizarre errors and mistakes. This book does make a plausible case that, the Qur'an rather than being error-ridden, is deliberately imposing a foreign theological framework onto the Old and New testaments. error and subversion are both valid theories which should be considered. they are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but we have to keep in mind the murky complexity of Islam's genesis. Islam's own sources are dubious and unreliable, even though those same sources are full of extremely embarrassing and bizarre information which doesn't help Islam's case. I recommend the book itself, not Logos.
