Deuteronomy and Islam
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter explains the role Deuteronomy has played within Islam, and it suggests some ways Deuteronomy might be put in conversation with the Qur’an. After a brief overview of the Islamic view of the Bible, several passages in Deuteronomy that have been frequently cited by Muslims for apologetic purposes are discussed (18:15, 18; 33:2). There are no direct biblical quotations in the Qur’an, but it contains a possible citation (5:27) that likely also serves an apologetic purpose. It has been suggested that the Qur’an presents Islam as a “deuteronomistically-inflected” religion, particularly in its presentation of the history of prophecy. This idea is extended to explore points of contact between the Qur’an and Deuteronomy regarding how each views God.
