Al-Radd al-jam l attributed to al-Ghaz l (d. 1111) is the most extensive and detailed refutation of the divinity of Jesus by a Muslim author in the classical period of Islam. Since the discovery of the manuscript in the 1930 s scholars have debated whether the great Muslim theologian al-Ghaz l was really the author. This is a new critical edition of the Arabic text and the first complete English translation. The introduction situates this work in the history of Muslim anti-Christian polemical writing. Mark Beaumont and Maha El Kaisy-Friemuth argue that this refutation comes from an admirer of al-Ghaz l who sought to advance some of his key ideas for an Egyptian audience.
