The One

This comparative study of Islam and Christianity struggled to reveal the mutual meaningful expressions of God, the creator. The main question to which the article tried to answer is: Who is Jesus Christ for Paul and Muhammad(s)? The significance of countering to this question is being revealed much more through the contemporary issues of hate, and delusions that are influencing all believers in one God. Questioning the human nature and the Lordship of Christ looks like a barrier in dialogues between Islam and Christianity. So, as its primary purpose, Jesus, as the Lord from Paul’s perspective and Isa al-Masih, the son of Maryam from Muhammad’s(s) viewpoint, will be compared through different methods. Like the spiritual interpretation of Joel S. Goldsmith, in which the monotheistic presupposition (worshipping only one God), will implant the axial direction of the examination of the Bible and the Quran. Moreover, through historical criticism, the article will try to clarify the origins of faith in Pauline Christology compare to the doctrine of Tawhid from the Quran and the origin of the Quranic accounts of Christ. Also, through a feminist analysis, the essay will have a critical look at maleness of titles of God in Christianity. In this way, the historical analysis will display the urge of accepting the Quran as the Incarnated word of God for Islam and the importance of Paul as the best witness for Christ. By spiritual interpretation, the meaning of the “form” and the “face” of God in Christianity, and “face”, and the “Rope” of Allah and Al-Rahman in the Quran will validate a mutual notion of divinity for all believers. Also, through the feminist approach framed in the text of the Bible and the Quran, this research will spot the sexless status of the Incarnated Christ after the resurrection, the one who is the Lord of all now, even if is being praised in the new name of Al-Rahman. Thus, in conclusion, this article will suggest mutual findings in Quranic and Biblical Christology and will be ended by spotting the incarnation of the word of God, as the best point of starting a fruitful dialogue between Islam and Christianity.

The Ideal

This paper engages with the theological discourse on the state of al-Mahdi in Shi‘i tradition and the Peaceful Kingdom of Christianity. It focuses on two particular narratives, Quranic one focusing on Shi‘i tafsir Qur’an 24:55 and Biblical one concerning on Isaiah 11:1-19. This study employs library research looking specifically at Qur’anic and Biblical commentaries. By comparing the texts, it is found out that the first insists on several requirements to realize the promise of God (the state of al-Mahdî) by performing active struggles i.e. possessing strong faith and doing righteous action. On the other hand, the latter provides the description of the ideal circumstance when Messiah comes to a region in which both the ruler and the ruled do active struggles. The first still emphasizes the importance of strong faith while the second doesn’t. Yet, both narratives share that active struggles and righteous actions must be at stake.

Like most German philosophers of his day Herder was no radical critic of religion and Christianity in the later manner of Marx or Nietzsche, but some of his contributions in this area did advance their sort of project. He was a liberal Christian, in terms of both tolerance and doctrine—examples of the latter sort of liberalism being his naturalized conception of immortality and his neo-Spinozism. In fact, he was the central figure in the emergence of neo-Spinozism, which he developed by the mid-1770s and which went on to constitute the foundations of both German Romanticism and post-Kantian German Idealism. He developed important new secular principles of biblical interpretation and thereby made important interpretive discoveries concerning the Bible. He conceived the novel project of a comparative study of religions and mythologies. And despite being a devout Christian, he also developed stinging criticisms of the history of organized Christianity.

The Comparative Study

Abstract Guillaume Postel is often credited as one of the founding fathers of the modern “orientalist” European study of the Middle East, and of Arabic, Islam, and the Quran in particular. He published his most influential work in 1544, calling on the French king to lead a Crusade against the Ottomans and usher in a new, apocalyptic age. Although usually credited as a pioneer in the comparative study of Semitic languages, an influential figure in French-Ottoman relations, and as one of the first Europeans to study the Quran in comparison with the Bible, it was the unique sixteenth-century renaissance combination of apocalyptism, European nationalism, and alchemy behind the specific formation of Postel’s universal linguistic theories that would most influence future scholarship. The following pages examine the historical context in which Postel produced his work with particular attention to the apocalyptism of his religious ideas and the kabbalistic sources of his linguistic scholarship.

Rewritten Bible

Inspired by the contemporary interest in the ‘rewritten Bible’ phenomenon, this article offers a detailed comparative study of the account of Israel’s first judge (‘Othniel’) in Judges 3:7-11 and its Josephan version in Ant. 5.179-184, where the figure is called ‘Keniaz’. Josephus, the study finds, significantly amplifies the Bible’s presentation, likewise redirecting attention from the theological to the political sphere when describing the nature of Israel’s offense that sets events in motion. Josephus’ version further evidences a number of similarities and differences with Pseudo-Philo’s rewriting of the biblical Othniel story in his Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum 25-28. At the same time, Pseudo-Philo has much more to tell about the personage than either the Bible or Josephus.

Abstract: All the heavenly books (the Qur’an, the Torah, and the Bible) agreed that Allah commanded all messengers and prophets to unite Allah and not shirk it in any way, and also ordered them to adhere to the covenant that he made with his prophets in not taking another Allah or idol except him, and if they did not implement this first commandment, then Allah will rob them of the king and make them vulnerable in the land, so every prophet or messenger before he dies commands his sons that they only Allah worships and that the religion of their father Abraham. The Islamic and the Messenger Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in the Quranic Surahs (Al-Baqara: 100), (Al-Anaam: 20), (Yes: 7 and 10), mention the few of Jews believe in mohmmad religion, and since the level of faith is higher than the Islam, we say to the people of Jews and Christians to worship Allah alone, and do not share anything with Him in order to save yourselves from Hell as Allah Almighty said in (Surat Al-Israa: 7) (If you do good, do good to yourselves and if you are sick of it) and in (Surat Al-Israa: 2) (do you not take from me without an agent), as monotheism was mentioned in the Bible in several books of them (Daniel 2: 20-21) (20) He answered Daniel said: “May Allah's name be blessed from eternity to eternity, for He has wisdom and might.” (21) He isolates kings and installs kings. Gives wisdom to the wise, and those who know they know. ) As mentioned in the unification of Allah (John 5: 44) (How can you believe and you receive honor from one another, and the glory of the one Allah, who do not seek?) The present research aimed at comparing divine oneness with deism oneness in the heavenly books (the Qur’an, the Torah, and the Bible). The comparative and analytical approaches were adopted in arriving at the results, including that all apostles and prophets were monotheists and they never called Allahhead to themselves but after their death people took them as lords without Allah. In the light of the results of the current research, some recommendations have been put in place for the interpreters of the Bible to review the texts of the Holy Qur’an and its interpretations because the Holy Qur’an has been preserved from misrepresentation, and this is the correct basis for extracting added or deleted texts from the Bible.

Human Embodiment

The book is a drolly pessimistic and vaguely misanthropic account that gives it a unity of voice, of view, and of several interlaced themes: the scarcity of good, that most of happiness comes in the morally questionable form of Schadenfreude, or is experienced mostly as relief that some expected bad thing did not materialize. It deals extensively with those tinges of ominousness that accompany good luck, and the related widespread belief, or feeling in the gut, that people’s mere desires and wishes provoke the gods to thwart their wishes. Are good things subject to a law of conservation, so that they must always be paid for and sum out at just about zero or less? Why is there no scarcity, in contrast, in the economy of evil? Certain topics the author can never seem to avoid make encores: revenge and getting even, paying back what one owes, competitiveness, humiliation, and disgust with human embodiment. These large themes will be spiced with particular attention to killing messengers bearing both good and bad tidings, the decline of everything (including the author’s mind and body), an occasional eye-gouging, until people face what it means to eat at the table of one’s lord as a historical and religious matter from texts ranging from the Bible to medieval matter, right up to issues of the narcissistic present.

This chapter discusses the discovery of Arabic poetry in Western Europe in the context of Protestant Arabic studies of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The piece centres on the work of the Dutch Orientalist Albert Schultens (1686–1750). His interest in Arabic poetry was driven by the idea that it preserves some of the characteristics of the primeval language and that it can help us understand the original meaning of the Hebrew texts of the Bible. The essay argues that in spite of its shortcomings, Schultens’ work is a significant moment in the history of oriental studies. It stimulated an entire generation of young scholars in Protestant Northern Europe; and his comparative study of Semitic languages, his concepts of the primeval language and its transmission as well as his great interest in the poetry of the East still resonate in early Romantic approaches to oriental poetry.
