Replica from an Islamic-theological perspective

Mehr’s contribution offers an elaboration of Christoph Chalamet’s ideas from a Muslim perspective. Mehr emphasizes the importance of a non-supersessionist interpretation of the Quran as a precondition for enabling the covenant motif to become fruitful in comparative theology. He briefly discusses the motif of asymmetrical covenants in the Quran. Mehr considers the idea of unilateral (self-)commitment as well as the idea of the Noahide covenant and its implications in the Quranic tradition. He thereby finds some theological aspects that allow the covenant motif to be fruitfully elaborated for comparative theological discourse.
