al-Radd al-jamīl - A Fitting Refutation of the Divinity of Jesus

al-Radd al-jamīl attributed to al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) is the most extensive and detailed refutation of the divinity of Jesus by a Muslim author in the classical period of Islam. Since the discovery of the manuscript in the 1930’s scholars have debated whether the great Muslim theologian al-Ghazālī was really the author. This is a new critical edition of the Arabic text and the first complete English translation. The introduction situates this work in the history of Muslim anti-Christian polemical writing. Mark Beaumont and Maha El Kaisy-Friemuth argue that this refutation comes from an admirer of al-Ghazālī who sought to advance some of his key ideas for an Egyptian audience.

The Divinity of Christ

THE following lecture on the Divinity of Christ was delivered by the author, as the third of the second series of Westminster Lectures, in March 1906. The treatment of the subject is, as will be seen, theological rather than purely philosophical: for no attempt is made to discuss the rational aspects of the union of natures in, or the Divine personality of, Jesus Christ. Such and kindred questions, interesting as they are, hardly lend themselves to a popular discussion: and, had an attempt been made to touch upon them in connection with the main contention of the lecture, it would not only have been necessarily superficial, but would also have tended to obscure the central subject.
