What This Study Explores
This Christian–Muslim study evaluates covenantal lineage, the identity of Abraham’s son, substitutionary atonement, Qurʾānic interpretation, and the contrast between inlibration and incarnation.
Key Claims
- The substitute carries typological weight. Genesis 22 joins covenant promise, substitution, and resurrection hope.
- Q 37:107 creates genuine interpretive pressure. The adjective “momentous” exceeds a merely ordinary animal sacrifice.
- Early Islamic interpretation was divided. The identity of the sacrificial son was not uniformly settled.
- The canonical arc culminates in Messiah. Sacrifice develops through Leviticus, Isaiah 53, John 1, and Mark 10.
- Promise-plan theology resists abrogation. Fulfillment is organic rather than the cancellation of earlier revelation.
