While Muhammed is not considered a true prophet in the Christian religion, Muslims have a very positive view of Jesus. In the Quran, Jesus is described as the Messiah, is miraculously born of a virgin, performs miracles, and calls disciples. But the Muslim picture of Jesus diverges in key ways: he is not crucified or resurrected and he is not considered God incarnate or the Son of God. Instead, he is the penultimate prophet, preceded by John the Baptist and succeeded by Muhammed (God’s ultimate prophet). John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will look at how Jesus is understood in Islam, connecting the origins of these traditions within early Christianity’s diverse communities.
