Tarif Khalidi, a contemporary Muslim scholar, has observed that the identity of the Muslim Jesus (Isa) has been changing since the canonical writings of the Qur’an and Hadith. He has moved from the ascetic saint of classical Islam to lord of nature, miracle worker, healer, and social and ethical model of modern Islam. He says that Isa has become much more than an argument for the truth of Islam; “he is a living and vital moral voice, demanding to be heard.” This short book examines Khalidi’s claim by analysing the understandings of Muslims who have written on the person of Isa in the past ten years. This book clearly demonstrates that Isa is evolving and is the prophet of hope for Islam today! This book summarizes my PhD thesis on the evolution of the Muslim Jesus (Isa). Both Muslims and Christians will find this quick read informative and relevant because Isa is the prophet of hope for Islam today! Muslims will want to know what contemporary Muslim authors are saying about Isa, which led me to this conclusion. Christians will want to know how the Muslim Jesus is evolving. Because Jesus is a topic around which Muslims and Christians can have constructive conversations despite their differences in understandings, I encourage both Muslims and Christians to read and share this mini-book with their Muslim and Christian friends.
