Although Jesus is not considered the Son of God in Islam, he is still considered to be a prophet, a bringer of Scripture, a teacher and wise man, and one of the figures who will return before the last day, heralding the end of time. In this collection of essays, scholars explore the life of Jesus in Muslim sources and the variety of ways that he is represented and discussed in different genres of Muslim writing. Contributors include Halla Attallah, Helen Blatherwick, S. R. Burge, Ryann Elizabeth Craig, Maha El Kaisy-Friemuth, Abdulla Galadari, Fatih Harpci, Fitzroy Morrissey, and Rebecca Williams. Accessibly written for specialists and nonspecialists alike, this is an essential collection for those interested in a deeper understanding of the figure of Jesus in Islam.

S. R. Burge is Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Ismaili Studies in London. He is the author The Prophet Muhammad: Islam and the Divine Message (2020) and coeditor of The Making of Religious Texts in Islam (2019).
