Does Islam stand in opposition to Christianity? The prominent Quran scholar Mehdi Bazargan has compiled all the statements from the Quran regarding Jesus, Mary, and Christians, and commented on them based on classical Islamic theology. For German readers, this presents an authentic Muslim voice on the relationship between Islam and Christianity for the first time—essential for today's debate about Christians and Muslims. Bazargan refutes Western prejudices about Islam using central Islamic sources, without overlooking problematic or confrontational passages from the Quran. Some Christian theologians may be surprised to learn that the Quran is a central work in the history of biblical interpretation. At the same time, Bazargan reminds his fellow believers of the respect that Muhammad showed towards Christians and urges them to practice tolerance.
