Description
This is a critical examination of a number of extravagant claims made by the New Testament scholar, Craig A. Evans, and the polemicist, Jeremiah J. Johnston, in their recently co-authored book, "Jesus and the Jihadis: Confronting the Rage of ISIS: The Theology Driving the Ideology." Unfortunately, the authors direct their own propaganda styled rage upon the religion of Islam itself and the person of Muhammad.
In this book we will see that the authors' rage towards Islam often compels them to misquote the Quran, even fabricate claims regarding it, unleash many untruths concerning Islamic religious texts, entirely bypass normative Islamic scholarship and distort the history of Islam. They are not the least bit shy to express their utter contempt towards Islam. Examples are provided in this book to substantiate these claims.
The authors are on the same wave length with ISIS. They "use" Islamic texts using ISIS' non-scholarly methodology. The rich interpretative tradition of Islam simply does not matter.
This book will show that contrary to the claims of the authors, the Islamic religious texts categorically speak against wanton violence and the killing of civilians, so strongly indeed that a major terrorist organisation, much larger than al-Qaeda, the Al-Gama'ah al-Islamiyah , had to renounce violence after a detailed study of Islamic religious texts.
Also discussed are the topics of the historical Jesus research, the divinity of Jesus, source criticism and Biblical and Quranic eschatologies. It is argued that the basic Quranic outline of Jesus comports well with the results of much of historical Jesus research.
