The quest to disentangle the historical Jesus the Messiah from Jesus Christ of the Church has gathered considerable momentum during the last three decades of the 20th century. Few people can deny the vast gap that exists between the two appreciations of Jesus. Zein asserts that Islamic biblical criticism, which refutes the mythical Christ of Pauline persuasion, had been more than 12 centuries ahead of modern biblical scholars in proclaiming the truth about the historical Jesus. Not only does the Qur'an preach this truth, but it also makes sense of Jesus' prophetic mission on earth. This book further contends that the remarkable agreement arising from Qur'anic revelation and many modern biblical findings can serve as a useful platform for further understanding, co-operation and fruitful dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
