Pre-Owned Mary in the Qur'an: Friend of God, Virgin, Mother (Hardcover) by Muna Tatari, Klaus von Stosch, Peter Lewis

9781909942622. Pre-Owned: Good condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Interfaith Series . Intended for professional and scholarly audience. An entire chapter (surah) is dedicated to her, and she is the only woman mentioned by name in the Qur'an-indeed, her name appears more frequently than that of either Muhammad or Jesus. From the earliest times to the present day, Mary, the mother of Jesus, continues to be held in high regard by Christians and Muslims alike, yet she has also been the cause of much tension between these two religions. In this groundbreaking study, Muna Tatari and Klaus von Stosch painstakingly reconstruct the picture of Mary that is presented in the Qur'an and show how veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church intersects and interacts with the testimony of the Qur'an. This sensitive and scholarly treatise offers a significant contribution to contemporary interfaith dialogue.
