Reading the Bible in Islamic ContextQur'anic Conversations\nAuthor(s): Daniel Crowther, Shirin Shafaie, Ida Glaser, Shabbir Akhtar\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367410209, 978-0367410209\nSynopsis\nIn the current political and social climate, there is increasing demand for a deeper understanding of Muslims, the Quran and Islam, as well as a keen demand among Muslim scholars to explore ways of engaging with Christians theologically, culturally, and socially. \n\nThis book explores the ways in which an awareness of Islam and the Quran can change the way in which the Bible is read. The contributors come from both Muslim and Christian backgrounds, bring various levels of commitment to the Quran and the Bible as Scripture, and often have significantly different perspectives. The first section of the book contains chapters that compare the report of an event in the Bible with a report of the same event in the Quran.
