ABSTRACT

It may be appropriate here simply to refer the reader to the recent work of Kenneth Cragg on the inter-textual relations between the Bible and the Qur'an. His A Christian—Muslim Inter-Text Now is an exceptional exploration of the concerns and hopes of the ecumenist in the drawing together of the texts of the two faith communities. 1 It is not necessary to repeat Cragg's discourse; rather here we will focus on only a few particular ideas in the management of scriptures by readers from the faith tradition of the other.
