Routledge Revivals

First published in 1977 this book is intended as a record of sources in Islamic prophetology which focus on the prophet Isa â Jesus in Christian theology. The Islamic Isa differs markedly from the Christian Jesus most obviously in that although considered an important prophet he is overshadowed by Muhammad. The doctrine of tawhid â the indivisible oneness of God â also necessarily means the rejection of Christâs incarnation or dual nature. The primary of role of Jesus in Islam as with all Islamic prophets is to reaffirm the primeval religion of man best expressed by the Shadada and Islam. This book collects as comprehensively as possible bibliographic sources in English and French from the time of the earliest available texts (circa 1650) providing annotated commentary and source information â making it an invaluable research tool for anyone who wishes to study the Islamic Jesus in more detail. .
