Bearing the Word: Prophecy in Biblical and Qur'anic Perspective

Michael Ipgrave
September 1, 2005
Both the Bible and the Qur'an speak of prophets, messengers charged with bringing the Word of God to the world. How do Muslims and Christians understand prophecy? What do their scriptures have in common and how do they differ in describing the prophets? What are the places of Jesus and of Muhammad in their faiths, and in their view of one another's faiths? These were some of the questions addressed by the 30 Christian and Muslim scholars who met at Georgetown University in March 2004 for a three-day seminar convened by Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Their focus was the intensive study of passages from the Qur'an and the Bible, reading one another's scriptures with respectful attentiveness and scholarly rigor. This book provides a record of those discussions, the papers presented during the seminar, and reflections after the event. The book is available in its entirety in the PDF, provided by Church House Publishing, that follows the book's table of contents below.
