The Qur'an in Context
For most Westerners, the Qur'an is a deeply foreign book.
Christians who venture within this sacred scripture of Islam encounter a world
where echoes of biblical figures and themes resound. But the Qur'an speaks
in accents and forms that defy our expectations. For it captures an oral
recitation of an open-ended drama, one rooted in seventh-century Arabia. Its
context of people, events and ideas strikes us not only as poetically allusive
but as enigmatic. And yet the Qur'an and its contested interpretations
scroll in shadowed text between the headlines of our daily news.
In The Qur'an in Context Mark Anderson offers a gateway into the
original world and worldview of the Qur'an. With keen attention to the
Qur'an's character, reception and theology, he opens up a hermeneutical
space for Christians and others to engage its fabric of religious claims. The
Qur'an's theology, anthropology, soteriology, spirituality as well as
its portrayal of Jesus are all carefully examined. Finally, the
Qur'an's claim to be the Bible's sequel is probed and evaluated.
Forthright in Christian conviction and yet sympathetically open to
dialogue, The Qur'an in Context is a reliable guide for those who want to
explore the holy book of Islam in its varied facets.
