I read from 'The Gospels and Jesus (Oxford Bible Series)' by Dr Graham Stanton of Cambridge University https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gospels-Jesu...

I have always been impressed by the extraordinary convergence of the Quranic teaching about the status and role of Jesus and the majority view of western New Testament scholars on the same issue. Unless the Quran has a divine origin how can we explain the remarkable agreement between those historians whose life work is to uncover the truth about the historical Jesus with the Quranic statements about his status, role and teaching? Was Muhammad just very lucky to get it right, just as he was most fortunate in his understanding the evolution of the embryo and spot on concerning the physical origins of the universe?

Is this extraordinary convergence yet another sign of the Quran’s divine origin?
