| Summary |
Back cover: This study reassesses the too-often oversimplified, in fact multilayered and polyvalent Christology of the Qur'ān 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. Additionally, it sheds new light on the Qur'ān's original sectarian milieu, its intricate redactional process, and the gradual making of the Muhammadan kerygma. |
