    Holger Zellentin - Jesus’ Miracles in the Qur’an and in Toledot Yeshu

    https://www.academia.edu/129428911/_Jesus_Miracles_in_the_Qur_an_and_in_Toledot_Yeshu_in_Theology_of_Prophecy_in_Dialogue_A_Jewish_Christian_Muslim_Encounter_edited_by_Zishan_Ghaffar_and_Klaus_von_Stosch_Leiden_Brill_2025_21_55

    In their agglomeration of miracles, these three manuscripts of Toledot Yeshu stand closer to the Qur’an than either the Infancy Gospel of Thomas or the tradition based on the Gospel of Matthew we have seen in the Clementine Homilies.

    The miracles described in the Qur’an therefore combine some motifs preserved in the Christian tradition with others found in the Toledot Yeshu tradition, maintaining, challenging, and reconfiguring aspects of both traditions according to its own prophetological paradigm. I would thus propose that a careful reconstruction of retrievable aspects of the late antique Toledot Yeshu tradition offers a challenging, yet essential method to understand what the Qur’an’s intended audience, and partially also its historical audience, had previously learned about Jesus. In addition to the reports about Jesus’ miracles (and his execution as discussed by Anthony), there are more than a few details of the Toledot Yeshu tradition that would explain how the Qur’an pursues a rectification not only of the Christian but also of the Jewish record. For example, it should be noted that alongside the Clementine Homilies, the Toledot Yeshu tradition is one of the few texts that emphasizes Jesus’ prophethood alongside his messianic status and his partial abrogation of the Torah, if only to deny these claims. Moreover, the depictions of Christians as noṣryn/noṣrym throughout the Toledot Yeshu tradition – and likely throughout the Jewish Middle East more broadly – would solve the long-standing puzzle of why the Qur’an’ would refer to Christians with an Arabic cognate of this term, naṣārā, rather than with any of the terms Christians themselves would have used.

    Mohsen Goudarzi - The Qur'an's Cultic Trinity: Marian Piety in Late Antiquity and the Qur'an

    However, the suggestion that Mary was divinized next to Christ is difficult to explain in the light of Christian doctrine. As far as we know, all Christian groups of Late Antiquity viewed the Holy Spirit, and not Mary, as the third person of the Trinity. Why, then, do the above-cited passages from the fifth surah claim that Mary was divinized? And why does no qur’anic text criticize the inclusion of the Holy Spirit within the Trinity?

    This study argues that answers to these questions may be found by attention to the realms of worship and liturgy rather than official theology. The Qur’an speaks of the divinization of Mary, and conversely makes no reference to that of the Holy Spirit, probably because it was referring primarily to the practical worship of its Christian interlocutors, not their abstract dogma. Many Christian communities of the Late Antique Near East endowed Mary with an elaborate cult and made her a central recipient of religious devotion, by constructing churches and monasteries in her honor, bringing offerings to these churches and monasteries, celebrating feast days to commemorate different moments of her life, performing the Eucharist on these feasts, making use of Marian icons, seeking her intercession, and believing in her miraculous protection—a complex of activities that could be seen as de facto divinization of Mary—while the Holy Spirit occupied a less prominent role in their practical, communal piety.
