About this title

Synopsis

The Islamic prophet Muhammad

initiated a theological program

in theocratic form. The Qur’an

challenges Christians and Jews

in many ways and invites them

to take a stance. This is why an

explicitly theological response is

legitimate and necessary. This

book draws on current scholarly

research on Islam and discusses

the sources of the Qur’an, the

fundamental features of its

relationship with Judaism, and

its perception of Jesus. This

leads to a realistic assessment of

Islam and stimulates a renewed

Christian self-understanding.

The fourth chapter presents

the largely unknown insights of

the German-Jewish philosopher

Franz Rosenzweig and the theologian

Joseph Ratzinger/Pope

Benedict XVI on Islam. They provide

an important perspective –

beyond submission.
