Summary: "Few historical figures are more central to the affairs of the present than Muhammad, and few religions have sought acknowledgment of their Prophet more avidly than Islam from Christians. Bringing a careful Christian reckoning to an issue rarely directly addressed in contemporary scholarship, Bishop Kenneth Cragg, one of the world's leading Islamicists, explores such areas as: the Christian response to the Quran; Christian reservations about Muhammad's life and claims; loyalty to the figure of Christ; the Quran's own plea to Christians. Offering a positive, critical response to a significant religious concern, this book is invaluable to Christians, Muslims and all people of faith seeking to engage in intelligent interfaith dialogue"--page 4 of cover.
