Book excerpt: Jesus, Son of Mary was from a line of Israelite Prophets sent to the Jews to proclaim the message of monotheism and to purify and confirm the law of Moses. The Jewish religious leaders rejected Jesus after he challenged their authority and rebuked them for their iniquities and excesses. The factions who believed in Jesus--known later as "Christians"--exaggerated his status, deified him and worshipped him alongside Allāh. The Jews in turn used the misguidance and excesses of the Christians to vilify the person and character of Jesus who is free and innocent of the excesses of the Christians and the unfounded claims of the Jews. The conflict between the Jews and Christians played out over the centuries and can be observed in the anti-Christian polemics in Talmudic literature and the anti-Jewish sentiment that Christian Europe retained into the 20th century. The Qurʾān and the Prophetic traditions make clear the correct position regarding Jesus to both of these groups--the "People of the Book" (ahl al-kitāb)--in their disputes with each other: One failed to act by the truth when it came to them and rejected the message of Jesus, and the other acted upon ignorance--in opposition to authentic revealed knowledge--and fell into exaggeration by worshipping Jesus alongside Allāh.
