In this video, Gabriel Said Reynolds discusses the presentation of Jesus in the Qur’an and how it is interpreted and rendered in English by recent translations of the Qur’an. I show that recent translations emphasize the difference between the Qur’anic Jesus and the Jesus of the New Testament and that in fact, the two Scriptures present Jesus very differently. He also discusses the origin and history of the name ‘Isa and much more.
Summary by Pluriel
This video focuses on the representation of Jesus in the Qur’an and in recent translations of the Muslim sacred text. The main points discussed are:
In conclusion, Gabriel Said Reynolds emphasizes that the Qur’an effectively creates a “new Jesus”, adapted to its own prophetic message, just as it reinterprets other biblical figures. Modern Muslim translations reflect this theological distinction, avoiding overly Christianizing readings of the Qur’anic text.
Dans cette vidéo, Gabriel Said Reynolds traite de la présentation de Jésus dans le Coran et de la façon dont elle est interprétée et rendue en anglais par les traductions récentes du Coran. Je montre que les traductions récentes mettent l’accent sur la différence entre le Jésus coranique et le Jésus du Nouveau Testament et qu’en fait, les deux Écritures présentent Jésus de manière très différente. Il discute également de l’origine et de l’histoire du nom ‘Isa et bien plus encore.

En conclusion, Gabriel Said Reynolds souligne que le Coran crée effectivement un “nouveau Jésus”, adapté à son propre message prophétique, tout comme il réinterprète d’autres figures bibliques. Les traductions musulmanes modernes reflètent cette distinction théologique, évitant les lectures trop christianisantes du texte coranique.
في هذا الفيديو، يتناول غابرييل سعيد رينولدز عرض عيسى في القرآن وكيفية تفسيره وترجمته إلى الإنجليزية في الترجمات الحديثة للقرآن. أوضح أن الترجمات الحديثة تؤكد على الاختلاف بين عيسى القرآني وعيسى العهد الجديد، وأن الكتابين المقدسين في الواقع يقدمان عيسى بطريقة مختلفة جدًا. كما يناقش أصل وتاريخ اسم “عيسى” وأكثر من ذلك.
ملخص بواسطة منصة الجامعة للبحث عن الإسلام
يتناول هذا الفيديو تصوير عيسى في القرآن وفي الترجمات الحديثة للنص الإسلامي المقدس. النقاط الرئيسية التي تمت مناقشتها هي:
في الختام، يؤكد غابرييل سعيد رينولدز أن القرآن يخلق فعليًا “عيسى جديدًا”، متكيفًا مع رسالته النبوية الخاصة، تمامًا كما يعيد تفسير شخصيات توراتية أخرى. تعكس الترجمات الإسلامية الحديثة هذا التمييز اللاهوتي، متجنبة القراءات المسيحية المفرطة للنص القرآني.
