Reviews
"Offers engaging perspectives on Gospel stories that are rarely considered by Western readers." -- Publishers Weekly "Thompson's treatise is so ingratiating that anyone seeking to understand Jesus better may cherish it." -- Booklist "Jesus of Arabia is one of those rare books that has both a theological depth and an inviting accessibility. Thompson has written a gem about the Jesus most of us in the West never meet--the real one. A brown-skinned, short, Middle Eastern man. I highly recommend both this book and its author." --Carl Medearis, author of Muslims, Christians, and Jesus: Gaining Understanding and Building Relationships "Andrew Thompson brings a wealth of experience and insight to this contemporary and engaging contribution to the dialogue between Christianity and Islam. He writes with integrity as someone with a commitment to all the peoples of Arabia: honest about the challenges, but hopeful about the bridges that can be built and the discovery of common ground that can lead to mutual flourishing. Thompson provides lively and incisive analysis as a critical friend and commentator respected by Christians and Muslims alike." --Mark Poulson, Secretary for Inter Religious Affairs to the Archbishop of Canterbury, National Inter Religious Affairs Adviser for the Church of England "The Reverend Canon Andrew Thompson, from his varied and always reflective experience in the lands of the Gulf and the Arabian peninsula, makes a thought-provoking contribution to Christian-Muslim friendship and understanding." --The Right Reverend Michael Lewis, Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf "In his book Andrew Thompson helps Muslims and Christians understand the Middle Eastern heritage of Jesus. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the words of Jesus as they applied to his day, and now apply to ours." --Pastor Jim Burgess, Lead Pastor, Fellowship of the Emirates ". . . .I would like to propose that Thomson's work is a stimulating reflection available to those readers who are interested in interfaith dialogues between the monotheistic religions. Moreover, the book is highly recommended to all who are interested in religious topics." -- Andrews University Seminary Studies, Thompson's treatise is so ingratiating that anyone seeking to understand Jesus better may cherish it., In his book Andrew Thompson helps Muslims and Christians understand the Middle Eastern heritage of Jesus. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the words of Jesus as they applied to his day, and now apply to ours., . . . .I would like to propose that Thomson's work is a stimulating reflection available to those readers who are interested in interfaith dialogues between the monotheistic religions. Moreover, the book is highly recommended to all who are interested in religious topics., Thompson, an Anglican priest living in Abu Dhabi, draws on over 20 years working in the Middle East to de-Westernize Gospel stories in this accessible book of clarifications. Intrigued by aspects of Gulf Arab culture that reminded him of the world portrayed in the New Testament, Thompson decided to dig into the ways Gospel stories have been distorted over time and across cultures: "I want to retrieve the Jesus of history who through accident of modern imperialism and colonialism has become infused with a Western identity." Thompson weaves together reflections on such topics as camels, seating dilemmas in the majlis (meeting room), the dangers of ancient pearl diving, and the differences between English and Middle Eastern sheepherding. Acknowledging frankly the speculative quality of this cross-cultural approach, Thompson also provides suggestions for future exploration and encourages efforts towards Muslim-Christian religious dialogue. Thompson's gentle, earnest faith is evident throughout, as are his respect for the Muslim religion and his love for the Gulf region and its peoples. Though this impressionistic, wide-ranging account contains some vague premises and poorly expressed arguments, it offers engaging perspectives on Gospel stories that are rarely considered by Western readers. (Jan.), The Reverend Canon Andrew Thompson, from his varied and always reflective experience in the lands of the Gulf and the Arabian peninsula, makes a thought-provoking contribution to Christian-Muslim friendship and understanding., Jesus of Arabia is one of those rare books that has both a theological depth and an inviting accessibility. Thompson has written a gem about the Jesus most of us in the West never meet--the real one. A brown-skinned, short, Middle Eastern man. I highly recommend both this book and its author., "Anglican clergyman Thompson knows Arabian culture from decades spent in the Persian Gulf region. Pointing out that Islam reveres Jesus as a great prophet, Thompson proceeds to many aspects of Jesus' teaching that Arabs understand more readily than non-Arabs, such as--and this will surprise most Westerners--why Jesus likens himself to a shepherd, which has to do with different ways of shepherding in the Middle East and the West. Thompson discusses particular images, concepts, and poetic structures Jesus used to connect with his original hearers, relating them to four large, overlapping themes of Arabic culture, then and now, namely, "The Family, Honor, and Hospitality"; "Religion"; "Women"; and "Language." Although conceived and first published (in Abu Dhabi) to encourage understanding and rapport among Muslim and Christian Arabs, Thompson's treatise is so ingratiating that anyone seeking to understand Jesus better may cherish it. Appendixes on the supposed corruption of Gospel texts, Muslim views of the Crucifixion and Jesus' divinity, and "The Bible on Arabs and Arabia" add value." -- Ray Olson, Andrew Thompson brings a wealth of experience and insight to this contemporary and engaging contribution to the dialogue between Christianity and Islam. He writes with integrity as someone with a commitment to all the peoples of Arabia: honest about the challenges, but hopeful about the bridges that can be built and the discovery of common ground that can lead to mutual flourishing. Thompson provides lively and incisive analysis as a critical friend and commentator respected by Christians and Muslims alike.
