Abstract:This chapter introduces Jesus from multiple perspectives. First it tells a minimalist version of his story using only those details broadly accepted by both Christians and Muslims. Then it turns to facets of Jesus particular to one tradition, looking first at Christianity, then Islam, and finally Manichaeism. The chapter concludes surveying christological controversies in Christianity and Islam before the fifteenth century.
