Mary in the Qur’an [EPUB ebook] 
Friend of God, Virgin, Mother

A sensitive consideration of Mary, mother of Jesus, in the Qur’an.An entire chapter (surah) is dedicated to her, and 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, the mother of Jesus, continues to be held in high regard by Christians and Muslims alike, yet she has also been the cause of much tension between these two 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. This sensitive and scholarly treatise offers a significant contribution to contemporary interfaith dialogue.
