Christianity and the Qur'an

Gabriel Said Reynolds offers a revisionist perspective on the origins of the Qur'an, highlighting its deep engagement with Christian traditions and late antique Christian literature within a predominantly Christian cultural context. Drawing on recent scholarship, he posits that monotheism and Christianity played a significant role in the pre-Islamic region where Muhammad preached. The study explores how the Qur'an interacts with Christian narratives, sometimes challenging Christian arguments, and demonstrates that its relationship with Christianity is integral to understanding its development.
