Abstract

the commentary (e.g. 265); another is how SAK was ‘genuinely intrigued’ by the Bible (xxi). While the presentation in this volume is generally excellent (with the exception of a number of typos), a word is needed on certain quirks. Footnotes vary between, on the one hand, providing a source and sometimes background information, and on the other giving an ethical exhortation in which it is not entirely clear where SAK’s thought ends and the voice of one of the translators enters. Second, sometimes Hadith and Persian poetic quotations are sourced in footnotes, sometimes not, and the texts of these quotations, though conveniently given at the back of the volume, are listed without sources. This work is a very welcome contribution to the study of Muslim engagement with the Bible. It represents a serious and detailed study of a section of Gospel text by a prominent Muslim writer, and appears for the first time in a language other than Urdu. The translators have performed a much-needed service in making this text available to a wider readership, and anyone interested in South Asian Muslim responses to Christianity, or in Muslim engagement with the Bible will benefit. Readers will also be spurred on to read what is effectively a companion text, Ramsey’s God’s Word, Spoken or Otherwise.

注释(例如265);另一个是SAK是如何被《圣经》“真正吸引”的(xxi)。虽然这本书的介绍总体上很好(除了一些拼写错误)，但有一些奇怪的地方需要一个词。脚注各不相同，一方面提供了来源，有时还提供了背景信息，另一方面给出了道德劝诫，其中不完全清楚SAK的思想在哪里结束，其中一个译者的声音进入。其次，有时圣训和波斯诗歌的引语是在脚注中引用的，有时不是，这些引语的文本，虽然方便地在卷的后面列出，但没有来源。这项工作对研究穆斯林与圣经的接触是一个非常受欢迎的贡献。它代表了一个著名的穆斯林作家对福音书文本的一段严肃而详细的研究，并且是第一次以乌尔都语以外的语言出现。翻译人员已经完成了一项急需的服务，使更多的读者可以获得这篇文章，任何对南亚穆斯林对基督教的反应感兴趣的人，或者对穆斯林与圣经的接触感兴趣的人都将受益。读者也将被鼓励去阅读一篇有效的配套文章，拉姆齐的《上帝的话语，口头或其他》。
