A HISTORY OF MUSLIM VIEWS OF THE BIBLE - MARTIN...

This book is the first of two volumes that aim to produce something not previously attempted: a
synthetic history of Muslim responses to the Bible  stretching from the rise of Islam to the
present day. It combines scholarship with a genuine narrative  so as to tell the story of
Muslim engagement with the Bible. Covering Sunni  Imami Shi'i and Isma'ili perspectives  this
study will offer a scholarly overview of three areas of Muslim response  namely ideas of
corruption  use of the Biblical text  and abrogation of the text. For each period of history 
the important figures and dominant trends  along with exceptions  are identified. The interplay
between using and criticising the Bible is explored  as well as how the respective emphasis on
these two approaches rises and falls in different periods and locations. The study critically
engages with existing scholarship  scrutinizing received views on the subject  and shedding
light on an important area of interfaith concern.
