"This paper investigates how premodern Muslim intellectuals understood and utilized Biblical materials in their written works. While some studies have highlighted Muslim use of the Bible for polemical and apologetic purposes, this study shows that medieval Muslim interaction with Biblical passages was not confined to those two approaches, illustrating the complexity of their engagement with the Bible. Taking the fifteenth-century Mamluk Quran commentator Burhān al-Dīn al-Biqāʿī (d. 1480) as a case study, this paper discusses how al-Biqāʿī sought to quote relevant Biblical passages to offer a more comprehensive narrative of figures and events mentioned only briefly in the Quran. Criticized by his contemporaries, al-Biqāʿī wrote his Apologia to defend his approaches. Analyzing al-Biqāʿī’s Apologia reveals the central argument that, for him, interpreting the Quran with the Bible is permissible for narrative and admonitory purposes but not for determining articles of faith and Islamic laws. In the end, he underscores the significant difference between taḥrīf (falsification) and naskh (abrogation), which should be appropriately understood in dealing with pre-Islamic revelation. Although he implied that certain Biblical passages were safe from textual falsification based on their conformity with the Quran, he supported the concept of abrogation, a widespread idea in medieval times across various religious traditions."

"ABSTRAKThe guidance of Allah for mankind is contained in the scriptures se t down by Him through the Prophets and Messengers. These scriptures are numerous due to the number of the Prophets. But, the mentioned and prominent ones include Zabur which was given to Prophet Dawud, Suhuf which was given to Prophet Ibrahim, Tawrah which was given to Prophet Musa, Injil which was given to Prophet Isa and the Quran which was given to Prophet Muhammad. However, the most circulated ones in the contemporary world are the Quran and Bible. These two contain direct and indirect information about different issues and concepts. In spite of the similarities in few areas, the points of divergence are substantial. Hence this paper is aimed at examining five out the areas of convergence as well as the areas of divergence of both the Quran and Bible with empirical examples from both scriptures. Conclusion is made to juxtapose their similarities which are due to their divine qualities and their differences which are as a result of the abrogation and interpolation by the people. Thus, the people are encouraged to show due respect to these heavenly scriptures."

"The French humanist Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples (ca. 1460–1536) enjoyedin his lifetime a notoriety second only to Erasmus himself. His numerousworks of biblical scholarship, his commentaries and homilies, and histranslation of the Bible into French make him one of the most significantforerunners of the Reformation in Europe. His scholarly achievements aswell as his profound piety deserve to be better known. While an in-depthstudy of Lefèvre’s scholarly achievements and theology is obviously notpossible here, I propose to highlight his main contribution to biblicalscholarship and hermeneutics."
