This is the first volume of a scholarly overview of Muslim responses to the Bible. The project explores how Muslims have both criticized and used the Biblical text, drawing on the Qur’an, classical texts and more recent works from around the Muslim world. By painting a clearer picture than previously available, this project aims to tell the story of Muslim engagement with the Bible – an important issue affecting interfaith relations today.
