  • The People of the Book, Ahl Al-Kitāb: a Comparative Theological Exploration
    The People of The Book, ahl al-kitāb: A Comparative Theological Exploration By Richard Lawrence Kimball A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Irish School of Ecumenics, The University of Dublin Trinity College, Dublin 2017 i Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and that it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of the use and acknowledgement. Signed: Richard Lawrence Kimball ii Summary This thesis offers a comparative theological exploration of the challenges and opportunities presented by the Qur’ānic representation of Christianity as the People of the Book, ahl al- kitāb, in the Qur’ānic and commentary tradition. It examines the social, cultural and historical background; through the early Arabic Christian response; and in modern discourse for the purpose of improving of interfaith dialogue and understanding of religious plurality. The research is divided into three parts. The first part explores the Qur’ānic understanding of the People of the Book through traditional Islamic exegesis, known as tafsīr, of four respected Islamic scholars whose work spans more than a thousand years. These scholars are Mujahid ibn Jabr (c. 722), Muhammad ibn Jarir Al-Tabari (d. 923), Ismail Ibn Kathir (d. 1373) and Muhammad Rashid Rida (d. 1935). The research demonstrates a wide range of opinions regarding Christians and Christianity.
