Al-radd Al-jamil- a Fitting Refutation of the Divinity of Jesus
Book Description
This scholarly work presents a significant historical document from the classical Islamic period that examines fundamental questions about religious belief and divine nature. The text offers readers a window into medieval theological discourse, specifically focusing on Islamic perspectives regarding Christian doctrine about Jesus.
The book provides both the original Arabic text in a newly prepared critical edition and the first complete English translation, making this important work accessible to contemporary readers. The accompanying scholarly introduction places the text within the broader context of interfaith theological discussions during Islam's classical era.
Rather than simply presenting ancient arguments, this work invites modern readers to engage with the intellectual rigor and spiritual conviction that characterized medieval religious scholarship. The editors present compelling evidence that the text emerged from an admirer of the renowned theologian al-Ghazali, someone who sought to advance key theological concepts for an Egyptian audience of that time.
For those interested in understanding how different faith traditions have historically approached questions of divine nature and religious truth, this text offers valuable insights into the methods and concerns of classical Islamic theology. The work demonstrates how serious religious thinkers have long grappled with fundamental questions about the nature of God and the proper understanding of prophetic figures.
This translation makes an important piece of interfaith theological literature available to English-speaking readers seeking to understand historical religious perspectives.
