Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - According to many, the Qur'an denies the crucifixion of Jesus, and with it, one of the most sacred beliefs of Christianity. However, it is only mentioned in one verse and its interpretation has been the subject of fierce debate among Muslims for centuries. This innovative work is the first book devoted to the issue, delving into largely ignored Arabic sources, which suggest that this interpretation of the verse may originate from the Christian Church.
