  • The Qur’an’s Engagement with Christian and Jewish Literature
    Jul 2 2025

    The Qur'an engages with the Bible and Torah in what is known as "intertextuality". How does the Qur'an both affirm and correct Christian and Jewish literature?

    The exploration of intertextuality in the Qur’an elucidates how it interacts with Jewish and Christian texts, highlighting its role as the final divine revelation and ultimate guidance for humanity. The Qur’an’s narratives, often familiar to Jewish and Christian audiences, serve to impart moral and spiritual lessons through stories that resonate with these communities. This interaction with existing religious traditions exemplifies "intertextuality," where the Qur’an engages with other texts and traditions to convey its unique theological messages.
