Abrogation in the Qur’an and Islamic Law
This book traces the development of the concept of abrogation from its most basic form to the complex and multi-faceted doctrine it has become. It also critiques the role of abrogation in rationalizing the view that not all of the Qur’anic revelation has survived and its application in Islamic law.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
This study shows that the belief in Jesus’ crucifixion is a matter of faith, not historical evidence. The book explains the serious issues in the Gospel narratives and compares them with the Qur’an’s assertion that Jesus was not crucified.
The Mystery of the Historical Jesus
This new contribution to the scholarship on the historical Jesus shows that, unlike the New Testament accounts, the Qur’anic image of Jesus is both internally consistent and reconcilable with confirmed history.
The Names of the Qur’anic Chapters
This book focuses on studying the names of the chapters of the Qur’an. It explains where each chapter name has come from and tries to identify naming patterns.
