Jesus in the Qur'an

Until recent times Islam's holy book has not been widely accessible to the Christian world, and consequently teachings about Jesus have received little attention. In Jesus in the Qur'an, written for both Christians and Muslims, for specialists as well as general readers, Parrinder offers a study of Qur'anic teachings about the birth, life, work, death and resurrection of Jesus. Parrinder explores all ninety-three verses in the Qur'an in which Jesus is mentioned, setting them in the context of the work as a whole and drawing parallels with the Christian gospels, wherever possible.

Geoffrey Parrinder was formally Professor in the Comparative Study of Religions at the University of London. He was a prolific writer, most notably on African religions, and helped promote better understanding and closer collaboration between members of different faiths and cultures. He died, aged 95, in 2005.
