ARTE Documentary: Son of Mary I ARTE Documentary

Content of the Lesson: The Qur'an only speaks of one woman: the Virgin Mary. We take a look at why was she so special to both Islamic and Christian texts, and why is Jesus always presented as "son of Mary". In sura IV, verses 157 and 158, the Qur'an relates the crucifixion of Jesus in a very different way from the Christian tradition. Jesus is crucified there "in appearance". Would those who witnessed the scene have been the victims of an illusion? Has anyone else been crucified in his place? Did Jesus Really Die on the Cross? Jesus, the founding figure of Christianity, is also an exceptional character in the Qur'an. Why? How? 'Or' What ? Based on this question, Gérard Mordillat and Jérôme Prieur (Corpus Christi, The Origin of Christianity, The Apocalypse) are conducting a survey of twenty-six of the world's greatest specialists, including researchers of the Muslim tradition: historians of the beginnings of Islam, philologists, epigraphists, historians of Eastern Christianity, historians of rabbinical Judaism and specialists in the history of the Qur'an. The seven episodes take as their starting point a careful reading of all the terms of two verses of sura IV of the Qur'an, evoking in their own way the crucifixion of Jesus "in appearance", before gradually opening the discussion to all with questions posed by the text, in its theological, literary and historical dimensions. It is at the crossroads of the three monotheistic religions, in the continuity of the Judaism of Moses and of the Judeo-Christianity of Jesus, that this investigation seeks to reconstitute the emergence of Islam in a pagan region, that was, however, very marked by biblical influences and the proximity of the Syriac churches.
