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.
Jesus the Fake Jihadis Evangelical Christians edition by Muhammad Asad Religion Spirituality eBooks
The author of this new book Muhammad Asad (not to be confused with the celebrated, and deceased, Quran translator of the same name), has produced an erudite and well written book.Asad describes his objective as ‘not to indulge in a polemic against Christianity and the Bible…this is an attempt to explain that Johnston and Evans are engaging in utterly unstably propaganda.’
Unlike many if not most apologetic works written by Muslims these days Asad is clearly at home in two contrasting worlds: that of Western biblical scholarship and the world of the Quran and its interpretation. Asad demonstrates a competent and insightful handling of the exegetical and critical issues.
However, I suspect his polemical tone will put off some readers. He speaks of Evans and Johnston disparagingly, referring to their ‘gross ignorance’, ‘goofy reasoning,’ and ‘silly standards’. This jars with the sober scholarly tone of most of the book.
I particularly liked the deft refutation of the unfounded claim by Evans and Johnston that Muhammad would have approved of the so-called ‘Islamic State’. Asad’s citation of Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi’s fatwa Refuting ISIS: A Rebuttal Of Its Religious And Ideological Foundations, is timely and welcome.
I also enjoyed the chapter ‘God’s Love in Islam and the Bible.’ I think many Muslims and Christians will be surprised at what Asad uncovers. However, you will need to purchase the book to find out!
I hope this important work will reach a wide readership. Those fundamentalist believers who have already made their minds up will not benefit from this book, but I hope more discerning souls will ‘treasure all these things, and ponder them in their heart’ (Luke 2:19).
