Shabbir Akhtar - the New Testament in Muslim Eyes: Paul’s Letter To the Galatians

Abstract

Credibility and authenticity of the Bible and composition process of its content has long been a controversial topic within both mainstream Islamic thought and other Muslim strands outcropping at the periphery. In contrast with the manifoldness of the kindred religious terms embraced by believers of the Judeo-Christianity and Islam - like angelological and apocalyptical doctrines, the belief in afterlife and so on- the nature and trait of revelation, degree of non-celestial interference in due course of recording the Scripture remarkably differentiates for the two monotheistic traditions. And this variety portrays a junction for exegesis traditions pertaining to Islam and Christianity.
