RT Article T1 The death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus in medieval Christian anti-Muslim religious polemics JF Islam and Christian-Muslim relations VO 21 IS 2 SP 157 OP 173 A1 McMichael, Steven J. LA English PB Routledge YR 2010 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/670025690 AB The focus of this article is on the treatment of the resurrection of Jesus in medieval Christian anti-Muslim polemical literature. It will also provide a glimpse of the Muslim perception of Jesus's resurrection or, actually, the ‘ascension’ of Jesus and the denial by Muslims of the resurrection of Jesus as Christians have understood it. The article will offer a brief review of the issue of the general resurrection of the dead and then focus on how the death and resurrection of Jesus are treated in the Qur'an. Especially important in this article is the presentation of Muslim belief with regard to the resurrection of Jesus in the thought of Pope Pius II, Nicholas of Cusa and Alonso de Espina, all significant Christian writers of the fifteenth century.
