This is a highly accessible book written in the spirit of the author's `Abrahamic ecumenism' to encourage Christians and Muslims to carefully read biblical and qur'anic passages for a better appreciation of each other's faiths, Prof. Mona Siddiqui, University of Edinburgh; This is a most interesting and informative book; it is equally valuable for scholars and a wider readership. (...) Professor Kuschel has highlighted very clearly the joint heritage of Christianity and Islam at a time when mutual understanding between these two religious traditions is so vital Prof. Carole Hillenbrand, University of St Andrews; The depiction of Jesus and indeed of Mary in the Qur'an is a subject of great importance for a more intelligent dialogue between Islam and the Christian tradition. Too many people know little or nothing about it, and it is a pleasure to welcome the English translation of this book from a seasoned and creative scholar. - Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College and former Archbishop of Canterbury
