Reihe: The History of Christian-Muslim Relations

Najm al-Din al-Tufi’s (d. 716/1316) extraordinary commentary on the Christian scriptures has not received the scholarly attention it deserves. Illustrating the way in which the Bible was read, interpreted and used as a proof-text in the construction of early 14th century Muslim views of Christianity, his al-Ta‘liq ‘ala al-Anajil al-arba‘a wa-al-ta‘liq ‘ala al-Tawrah wa-‘ala ghayriha min kutub al-anbiya’ (Critical Commentary on the Four Gospels, the Torah and other Books of the Prophets) is an invaluable treasure for the study of Muslim-Christian dialogue and its history. In Muslim Exegesis of the Bible in Medieval Cairo, Lejla Demiri makes this important and unusual work available for the first time in a scholarly edition and English translation, with a full introduction that places Tufi in his intellectual context.

Zielgruppe

All interested in the history of Christian-Muslim relations, theological interactions and inter-faith encounters, and anyone concerned with Muslim exegesis of the Bible and Muslim perceptions of Christianity.
