Mary in the Qur'an
MI
Lewis, PeterMuna TatariKlaus Von Stosch1 editions

An entire chapter (surah) of the Qur?an bears her name. 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 has continued to be held in high regard by Christians and Muslims alike. And yet Mary has also been the cause of much rancour and tension between these two world 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. Their sensitive and scholarly treatise is an important contribution to constructive interfaith dialogue in the 21st century.0Muna Tatari read Islamic Studies and Theology at the universities of Hamburg and Amman. She is currently Professor of Islamic Systematic Theology at the University of Paderborn.0Klaus von Stosch is currently Professor of Catholic Theology and Didactics and Chair of the Centre for Comparative Theology and Cultural Studies at the University of Paderborn.
