520 $aMany Muslims and Christians believe that the Qur'an denies the crucifixion of Jesus, and, with it, one of the most sacred tenets of Christianity. However, it is only mentioned in one verse - "They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, rather, it only appeared so to them"--And contrary to popular belief, its interpretation has been the subject of vigorous debate among Muslims for centuries." This is the first book devoted to the issue, delving deeply into largely ignored Arabic sources that suggest the origins of the conventional reading may lie within the Christian Church. Arranged along historical lines, and covering various Muslim schools of thought, from Sunni to Sufi, The Crucifixion and the Qur'an unravels this crucial dispute that separates two of the world's major religions.
