This set re-issues two of Kenneth Cragg's lesser-known but no less important books, which illustrate his deep knowledge of the Qur’an and his lifelong interest in Islamic and Christian theology.



Kenneth Cragg was one of the West’s most gifted interpreters of Islam and one of the most well-known figures of the Middle Eastern Church. During his 45 years in the Middle East, Cragg was an assistant Bishop of Jerusalem and scholar, he focussed on the Christian understanding of other faiths, particularly Islam. A major figure in Christian-Muslim conversations he was a prolific writer whose books became a forum of intellectual debate about Islam and Christian-Muslim relations. This set re-issues two of his lesser-known but no less important books, which illustrate his deep knowledge of the Qur’an and his lifelong interest in Islamic and Christian theology.

KENNETH CRAGG ON THE INTERSECTION OF FAITHS
Volume 1 THE MIND OF THE QUR'AN
Preface 7(1)
1 A Reader's Introduction
13(13)
A contemporary reading of the Qur'an and the issues it poses: the bond between the book and its own `people': the task of the external reader and the urge to take it up: Arabic and chronology: content and context in their relationship: courtesy and realism in relation to traditional commentary: Quranic theism and the secular age: the familiar mind, and the open mind, of the Qur'an.
2 Having the Text by Heart
26(12)
Hifz of the Qur'an, its meaning and significance: the art of tajwid: dhikr or remembering: the book in the currency of memory: Ibn Khaldun as an example of the quoting instinct.
3 The Explicit and the Implicit
38(16)
Responsible attitudes to the text: the Qur'an's own basic principle as to what is definitive and what is figurative: the nature of muhkamat and mutashabihat in Surah 3: 7: `the mother of the book': recurrent themes and the duty of discernment: attitudes of intellectualist or mystical perception: the Scripture in its time and with its audience: the capacity for understanding.
4 The Exegetical Tradition
54(21)
Three classical commentators: Fakhr al-Din al-Rizi on Surah 97: Al-Baidawi on Surah 112: Al-Zamakhshari on Surah 90: the pre-occupations of traditional exegesis and a present reckoning with their concerns: Bint al-Shati in recent commentary on Surah 93: the modern reader's duty with, and beyond, the old exegetes.
5 `Perhaps ...'
75(18)
A different justice to the great original: la'alla, the great `perhaps' of the Qur'an about its own hearers and readers: die tests of right reading: pseudo-scientific claims and their rejection: the religious awareness of man in the natural order: the `oaths' of the Qur'an: praise and the due sense of God: the significance of the Fatihah, or opening Surah: in the context of sujud or worship: `the Lord of all being': `the straight path': the ultimate issue of the role of prophethood in the rule of God: the crisis in Muhammad's experience of human rejection: Islam institutionalized in state-power: this vital clue as the central religious theme.
6 The Trouble of Man
93(17)
Birth and sexuality in the Qur'an: the mystery of man: the dark shadows in the ruin of cities and the unheeded prophets in their sequence: human obduracy: `the earth and her burdens': man `prone to evil': zulm as a pivotal term and its deep implications in the Qur'an: nifaq or hypocrisy: the marad or sickness of man: the personal continuum after death: Quranic eschatology and the questions relating to it: `a vale of soul-making'.
7 The Seeking of Forgiveness
110(19)
Istaghfir Allah and its implications as a reiterated Quranic command: self-accusation and the sense of the need for pardon: God as its direction: seeking forgiveness and seeking `protection': pardon and pilgrimage: the will to extrication from the evils of life: being for-giving: divine Rahmah or mercy: its Quranic quality: its meaning as evoking the mercy of man: contemporary issues, Marxist and secular, that belong with evil and its retrieval: forgiveness as the largest test of man.
8 `No God but Thou ..."
129(17)
God and man: the divine recognition---the human choice: the atheist interpretation of the human and Quranic theism: the phrase min duni-llahi and the human non-acknowledgement of God: Tauhid and shirk in their Quranic antithesis: pagan pluralism: different gods and indifferent humans: man's recent idolatries: `being absolute for God alone' in Islam: ikhlas and istighna': secularity and `the right of the rightful God': the liberty to be idolatrous and the true submission: the dominion of man and the poetry of experience.
9 The Sacramental Earth
146(17)
The Quranic ayat: man arrested by phenomena: perceptiveness, religious and scientific: `the ground is holy': the central concept of kufr: man in ingratitude: unity in plurality: a monotheism of the imagination: shukr and the role of symbol: `friend of God in the universe'
10 Desiring the Face of God
163(19)
The Sufi mind and the Qur'an: the tension between an authoritative Scripture and a mystical liberty: the book as the guardian of orthodoxy and the fount of Sufi vitality: passages most notably possessed by Islamic mysticism: `the face of God': the Surah of Light: the divine Names: Tauhid and Fana': the soul's allegiance: the paradox of the self.
11 Directive and Direction
182
Review: the authoritative Scripture and the communal mind: direction of development in the sense of Quranic directives: being Muslim with the Qur'an today: the question of textual `criticism': the form of authority to faith: examples of flexibility in interpretation: pragmatic change: surviving supposed indispensables: being Islamic in the world: the issue of secularization: Dar al-Islam and its feasible modern meaning: the concept of repugnancy to the Qur'an: being religious with Islam: the ecumenical questions: the Qur'an in universal religious dialogue.
