ABSTRACT
Although it would be an anachronism to say that the Qurʾān contains a theology of Christianity, it certainly contains numerous references to Jesus and his followers, and to Christian theories and practices. The wording of these references is rather different from the common names that Christians use for themselves, and so careful attention must be paid to the terms that the Qurʾān uses when it refers to Christianity, since this may be indicative of the literary style of the qurʾānic approach to other religions, more specifically the so-called ‘People of the Book’.
