| Following the success of his The Event of the Qur'an, first published in 1971 to critical acclaim, Cragg picks up where he left off to explore the "Christian" issues so evident in the Qur'an. This book aims to answer the perennial request of Muslims for "acknowledgment" of the Prophet Muhammad. The figure of Muhammad, whose precursors include figures such as Jesus, begs investigation by Christians as to Muhammad's relationship with Christianity. Kenneth Cragg's unique controversial study attempts to reconcile the importance of this Islamic figure with the very nature of the Christian faith.
