Abstract<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published under the original title “El Cor\u00e1n musulm\u00e1n increado y el Logos cristiano eternamente engendrado<\/em>” in the monographic section Logos, Agape, Sarx. Una dial\u00f3gica cristiana<\/em> of issue 79 (2025) of the journal Carthaginensia<\/em>, this article by Jaume Flaquer<\/strong><\/a>, Jesuit, professor at the Faculty of Theology of Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda (Granada) and director of the C\u00e1tedra Andaluza para el Di\u00e1logo de las Religiones<\/em> (CANDIR), unsettles a familiar assumption of the Christian-Muslim dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is often argued that Arianism, which denied the Son full co-eternity with the Father, stands closer to Islam than the Nicene orthodoxy. Flaquer shows that the majority outcome of Muslim theological debates during the 2nd and 3rd centuries of the Hegira actually brings Sunni Islam closer to Nicene Christianity: when Muslim theology was compelled to rule on the status of the Word of God, it reached the same conclusion as Christianity did on the Logos, namely, the uncreated<\/em> character of the Qur’an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining theological and historical methodology, the author retraces the Muslim debates (Mu\u02bftazilites, Ash\u02bfarites, \u1e24anbalites, etc.) and draws a conclusion of real importance for the interreligious theological dialogue: far from being a mere divergence, the double affirmation of the uncreated Logos and the uncreated Qur’an can become a shared point of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article belongs to the monographic section “Logos, Agape, Sarx. Una dial\u00f3gica cristiana<\/em>” coordinated by Manuel Porcel Moreno.
