“…116 Jesus's asceticism justified the Sufis' own asceticism. 117 Sometimes the Muslims' Jesus could be surprisingly worldly. When Jesus met a man wanting to divorce his wrinkled wife, he simply advised her to diet, "for when food piles up in the stomach and grows excessive, the face loses its smoothness."…”

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.

This volume examines the development and use of the Bible from late Antiquity to the Reformation, tracing both its geographical and its intellectual journeys from its homelands throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean and into northern Europe. Richard Marsden and Ann Matter's volume provides a balanced treatment of eastern and western biblical traditions, highlighting processes of transmission and modes of exegesis among Roman and Orthodox Christians, Jews and Muslims and illuminating the role of the Bible in medieval inter-religious dialogue. Translations into Ethiopic, Slavic, Armenian and Georgian vernaculars, as well as Romance and Germanic, are treated in detail, along with the theme of allegorized spirituality and established forms of glossing. The chapters take the study of Bible history beyond the cloisters of medieval monasteries and ecclesiastical schools to consider the influence of biblical texts on vernacular poetry, prose, drama, law and the visual arts of East and West.
