‘An honest and scholarly analysis of the Muslim Jesus, the Christian Jesus, and the diverging paths Muslims and Christians chose to follow.’

Anwar Mehammed, head of Islamic Studies, Ethiopian Theological College, Addis Ababa



In his book The Islamic Jesus, Mustafa Akyol claims that Muslims may hail Jesus as the Messiah and the Word of God – but is that really the case? And how should Christians respond when they do?



In this sensitive and nuanced exploration of Muslim beliefs about Jesus, Richard Shumack calls for Muslims and Christians to embrace constructive disagreement as the best way to both religious peace and eternal truth. For although Muslims and Christians both love Jesus. the Jesus of Islam points down a different road to that of Christianity. The Muslim Jesus wants to you to be a better person by walking a road of passionate devotion to God; the Christian Jesus wants you to be a whole new person by joining him on a road to crucifixion and resurrection.



‘If you care about Muslim-Christian relations, this book is significant.’

Dr Muhammad Kamal, Asia Institute, University of Melbourne



 ‘Excellent … strikes the perfect balance between academic rigour and accessibility.’

Dr Peter Riddell, SOAS University of London

Industry Reviews

I strongly recommend Jesus through Muslim Eyes: if you care about Muslim-Christian relations, this book is significant.', Dr Muhammad Kamal, Asia Institute, University of Melbourne

'This is a profound book, written with deceptive simplicity and charm. Its conclusions are fair-minded, provocative - and devastating for any who think simplistically about the Jesus Christ of Christian faith and the Isa ibn Maryam of the Quran.', Dr Shabbir Akhtar, Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford

'In this excellent book, Richard Shumack strikes the perfect balance between academic rigour and accessibility. Its discussion of the Islamic Jesus is lucid, and its application to the needs of Christian readers is highly relevant.', Professor Peter Riddell, Professorial Research Associate, SOAS University of London

'Richard Shumack’s familiarity with Islam gives him the ability to present a true picture of the religion in a way that is not unfair or uncharitable.  Rather, he describes for us an accurate picture of how Islam sees and presents Jesus and compares that picture with the Jesus of history.  Shumack has a knack for raising interesting questions and thoughtful arguments while expressing them in easy to understand ways.  In Jesus Through Muslim Eyes he does just that.', Abdu Murray, author of 'Saving Truth: Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World'

'This is an honest and scholarly analysis of the Muslim Jesus, the Christian Jesus, and the diverging paths Muslims and Christians chose to follow. It brings profound new insights into the historical, philosophical and textual discussions about Jesus. It is an excellent contribution to both contemporary Christian-Muslim dialogue and the historical Jesus.', Anwar Mehammed, head of Islamic Studies at the Ethiopian Theological College, Addis Ababa
