The Bible in Arabic

[M]eticulous but eminently lucid. --Eric Ormsby, Literary Review Griffith offers an exhaustive yet engaging discussion of the history of translations of the Bible. --Choice This book by Sidney Griffith is of great value to whoever is interested in the complex issue of relationship between Hebrew-Christian Scriptures and Muslim ones... Griffith depicts in a synthetic but very valuable way the relationship between respective Scriptures, mirror of relationships between respective communities. --Valentino Cottini, Islamochristiana Griffith's book is a welcome introduction to the field and is written in an accessible style, directed to a broad audience... The Bible in Arabic will hopefully inspire much needed further research. --Ronny Vollandt, Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations The Bible in Arabic is an important contribution not only as a corrective to inter-religious debate in the twenty-first century, but also because it succeeds it drawing the Bible into a dialectical tradition of exchange that has become severely hampered by dominant discourses on identity politics that fill the spectrum between cultural clash and calls for tolerance. --Rana Issa, SCTIW Review The Bible in Arabic: The Scriptures of the People of the Book in the Language of Islam ... marks a high point in the author's academic scholarship. This comprehensive exploration demonstrates his ability not only as a biblical scholar but also as an adroit historian of religion, able to apply an advanced hermeneutic approach to the primary sources. --S.M.
