An entire chapter (surah) of the Qur' an bears her name. She is the only woman mentioned byname in the Qur' an-indeed, her name appears more frequently than that of either Muhammad orJesus. From the earliest times to the present day, Mary has continued to be held in high regard byChristians and Muslims alike. And yet Mary has also been the cause of much rancour and tensionbetween these two world religions. In this groundbreaking study, Muna Tatari and Klaus vonStosch painstakingly reconstruct the picture of Mary that is presented in the Qur' an and show howveneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church intersects and interacts withthe testimony of the Qur' an. Their sensitive and scholarly treatise is an important contribution toconstructive interfaith dialogue in the 21st century.
"Mary in the Qur' an is a splendid example of comparative theology at its best: clear and straightforward, dutifully attentive to history and to textual evidence, respectful of both communities' distinctive sensitivities, yet constructive in its conclusions today. "--Francis Clooney, Harvard University
