Description: This is a description of the very first edition of the revised edition of “Jesus, Prophet of Islam”. It has been reprinted many times since 1996, with different covers and by different publishers, most of whom have entered a reprint agreement with Ta-Ha Publishers and the surviving co-author. This revised edition has also been translated into several languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, German and Polish
Notes: This revised edition of **Jesus, Prophet of Islam** was prepared by the surviving co-author, Ahmad Thomson, after Muhammad Ata’ur-Rahim’s death, alayhi rahma. The main additions in this revised edition were as follows: it expanded the historical study of how the split between the original Semitic Unitarian followers of Jesus and the European Trinitarian followers of Paul of Tarsus steadily developed until it became irreversible; it considered more closely the authenticity, accuracy and reliability of the texts on which current editions of the **Bible** are based, including a careful scrutiny of the arguments for and against the current surviving editions of the **Gospel of Barnabas**; it expanded the last two chapters which explore what the **Qur’an** and the **Hadith** say about Jesus, peace be on him – not only concerning his miraculous birth and original mission, but also his second coming. By considering what the Atheists, the Jews, the Unitarian Christians, the Trinitarian Christians and the Muslims say about Jesus, it is hoped that the reader will be better able to judge who are nearest the truth in their understanding of this incredible being who had no human father and who performed miracles by the permission of his Creator.
