The Crucifixion and the Qur'an

“Compelling reading for all those interested in comparative Christian-Muslim theology and its implications for contemporary inter-faith relations. This important, thought-provoking book harbingers fruitful new trajectories for conversations between Christians and Muslims.”– “Asma Afsaruddin”“Todd Lawson offers his readers the most thorough study ever of the two Qur’anic verses appearing to deny the crucifixion of Jesus. Some of his conclusions are as startling but all of them are thoroughly researched and documented.”– “Mathias Zahniser - Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary.”“With admirable lucidity the book takes us chronologically through all the main interpretations of the key verse where crucifixion is explicitly mentioned.”– “Michael Carter - Professor of Medieval Studies and Arabic, University of Sydney”

Todd Lawson is Associate Professor at the Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, University of Toronto. He is the author of Reason and Inspiration in Islam: Theology, Philosophy and Mysticism in Muslim Thought.
