Parsons had shown how fresh appreciation of the Jewish monotheistic context of New Testament christology can assist the contextualization of Christology in Islamic contexts today. This is an important book not only for Christians in dialogue with Muslims, but also for all who wrestle with the relationship between belief in the one God and the Christian confession of the deity of Jesus Christ.

.In this study Martin Parsons....makes a most valuable contribution to the task of seeking greater understanding between Christians and Muslims. In a context of increased tension between the West and Islam in the early 21st century, such a skilful and insightful study should be warmly welcomed by Christians and Muslims alike.

Parsons, by dealing with arguably the greatest theological problem that the common Muslim faces in comprehending a biblical view of God in Christ has, as his title suggests, contributed to the task of “unveiling God” for the Muslim, and the Christian too. And to that extent he has taken a step toward fulfilling Temple Gairdner’s dream that Islam would “compel us to explore unknown depths of the riches of the revelation of the Triune God.”
