    Who actually is Luxenberg?


    Christoph Luxenberg needs no introduction. He is a Christian (Syriac priest?) scholar of Lebanese origins specializing in Semitic philology, who has spent a good amount of time teaching in Germany (presumable retired by now).

    His monumental Die Syro-Aramäische Lesart des Koran (Berlin: Verlag Hans Schiler, 2004, 1st ed. 2000), first published in 2000, ignited a storm of controversy in academia. and in the media as well. Therein he argued that the Quran was not written in Classical Arabic, but was originally written in a so-called Aramaic-Arabic mischsprache (‘mixed-language’). A lot of opaque words, passages, and sometimes entire chapters, in the Quran - according to Luxenberg - can thus be rendered sensible if read in Syriac, and not Arabic.

    A clarification is in place. The term Syro-Aramaic used by Luxenberg is nothing but his own concocted technical nomenclature. He is basically referring to Syriac, and the Edessene dialect of Eastern Aramaic, to be more precise.

    You can access his book here: https://goo.gl/uD2Tek

    Regarding the passages I cited, Luxenberg thinks that the Quran does not really deny the Crucifixion, but only the Jewish claims of having killed and crucified the Messiah. Presumable, he also thinks that the Quran affirms the Resurrection and ascension as well.  He is certainly not the only scholar who thinks so.

    So who is he and what is original name?  did he publish anything else apart from that book on early history  of Islam/Quran origins?

    His real name is only know to his close friends and colleagues. Yes. He has published several articles apart from his book. If I am not mistaken, he will soon publish another book.

    1/ Yes. The Quran claims that the Crucifixion appeared only to the Jews. Then, yes he denies it. Jews were tricked.
    2/ Nope, because Jesus was not crucified, it was an hallucination see only by the Jews. Therefore it did not resurrected since he was not crucified.

    All scholars are agree on this, it seems.Jesus was not crucified.
    It is interesting that the Romans do not appears in the episode. According to the Gospels, it is them who have executed Jesus. (yawn)

    Reynolds, Mourad, and Luxenberg have all written on this topic. Please refer to their respective publications, since I think they answer these question.

    Dear Mahgraye,

    What I wrote is my understanding of the episode.  In all the articles I read, it seems to me that all the scholars are agree. What I read? You can check the topic in academia for each scholars you mentioned. Reynolds has something if I remember.

    Yes. (more or less) but more more than less.

    The Quran claims that the Crucifixion appeared only to the Jews. Then, yes he denies it. Jews were tricked by God.
    2/ Jesus was not crucified, it was an hallucination see only by the Jews. Therefore it did not resurrected since he was not crucified.
    Reread the Quranic passage.

    Well, Reynolds, Mourad, and Luxenberg certainly disagree on that point. All three argue that the Quran affirms the historical Crucifixion of Jesus.

    Yeah. Luxenberg argues in that very book that the Quran affirms the historical Crucifixion of Jesus.

    Only the Jews saw him, it's a trick from God, you understand or not? A TRICK. It's mean that it did not HAPPEN : Jesus is not dead on the cross says the Quran.

    Forthcoming conference

    Biblical Traditions in the Qur’an
    11-12 October 2018 The Royal Society, London

    Quote
    Understanding the Qur’an’s engagement with Biblical and Biblically based traditions has re-emerged as a pivotal scholarly challenge. The Islamic scripture clearly addresses an audience that was profoundly familiar with a considerable amount of Biblical and post-Biblical Jewish and Christian stories, concepts, and doctrines, and it engages in a sophisticated process of ideological critique, recasting, and reconfiguration in accordance with a particular set of doctrinal commitments. The conference will gather an interdisciplinary group of specialists in order to create a comprehensive image of the current state of our understanding of the Qur'an's intimate engagement with Biblical and Biblically based traditions.

    I’m sure it would be easy enough for them to do this, I’m not sure they’d have the motivation.

    It seems to be one of a series of documentaries: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/RC-012163/jesus-et-l-islam/

    The first episode is about the crucifixion nor Dye, nor Reynolds, nor others say that the Quran says that Jesus was crucified... They think to an collective illusion or a sosie of Jesus in the frame of this illusion organised by God.

    Maybe not Dye, not sure what he thinks, but Reynolds, Mourad, who also is in the documentary, and Luxenberg, all opine that the Quran does affirm the historical Crucifixion.
