Prophets in the Qur’ān and the Bible
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The theme of prophets and prophecy is a central area of theological research and discussion in both Christianity and Islam. While academic researches on the prophets of Islamic tradition do exist, it is rare to find studies which compare them with the biblical accounts based on evangelical theology. This book provides theological analysis of the biblical prophets which appear in the Qur’an and the Islamic literature. The selection of prophets includes Adam, Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David), Ezekiel (Dhul-Kifl), Zakariya, Yahya (John, the Baptist), and Mary the Mother of Jesus. The contributors are a distinguished group of international scholars who combine impressive academic credentials with extensive ministry among Muslims. Moreover, the international nature of the contributors lends credibility to the work as an exercise in global theology. This book lays a good foundation for the comparison of scriptural and theological traditions of two world major religions and for generating further discussions.

The prophetic historiography of shared space between the Qur’ān and the Bible has been a widely discussed but seldom fully researched theme in interreligious dialogue between Muslims and Christians. This sympathetic study represents a significant step forward in this research. I heartily recommend it for all serious participants in Islamic-Christian dialogue.

Prophets in the Qur’ān and the Bible is a must-read text for any serious Christian who wishes to deepen their understanding of Islam from the gospel perspective, both in academic endeavors and for Christian ministries. This study of comparing the Qur’ānic and biblical prophets elucidates different fundamentals between the two faiths without disregarding their surface similarities. Even earnest Muslims can benefit from this book to be illumined on the purposes of the biblical prophets.
