The Islamic prophet Muhammad
initiated a theological program
in theocratic form. The Qur’an
challenges Christians and Jews
in many ways and invites them
to take a stance. This is why an
explicitly theological response is
legitimate and necessary. This
book draws on current scholarly
research on Islam and discusses
the sources of the Qur’an, the
fundamental features of its
relationship with Judaism, and
its perception of Jesus. This
leads to a realistic assessment of
Islam and stimulates a renewed
Christian self-understanding.
The fourth chapter presents
the largely unknown insights of
the German-Jewish philosopher
Franz Rosenzweig and the theologian
Joseph Ratzinger/Pope
Benedict XVI on Islam. They provide
an important perspective –
beyond submission.
Rudolf Kutschera holds a PhD in theology and has been involved in a number of research projects in the Middle East. In his teaching activities at schools and universities in Austria, Germany and Italy, he worked primarily on questions of Christian identity. His research focusses on the relationship of Christianity with Judaism and the clarification of theological questions raised by Islam.
