THE QURANIC JESUS

Is it possible to rethink the multilayered and polyvalent Christology of the Qur'an against the
intersecting of competing peripheral Christianities  anti-Jewish Christian polemics  and the
making of a new Arab state in the 7th-century Near East? To what extent may this help us to
decipher  moreover  the intricate redactional process of the quranic corpus? And can we unearth
from any conclusions as to the tension between a messianic-oriented and a prophetic-guided
religious thought buried in the document? By analysing  first  the typology and plausible date
of the Jesus texts contained in the Qur'an (which implies moving far beyond both the habitual
chronology of the Qur'an and the common thematic division of the passages in question) and by
examining  in the second place  the Qur'an's earliest Christology via-à-vis its later (and
indeed much better known) Muhamadan kerygma  the present study answers these crucial questions
and  thereby  sheds new light on the Qur'an's original sectarian milieu and pre-canonical
development.
