The efforts of Imami interpreters to prove the distortion of the Two Testaments - The story of God’s Prophet Adam

Abstract

 This research dealt with the efforts of the Imami interpreters in criticizing the books of the two Holy Testaments. The researcher found that the area of ​​criticism in interpretation is almost concerned with what scholars of biblical criticism call (internal criticism), which is concerned with the content of the texts, and searches for defects and contradictions in them, from the perspective of the critical interpreter. Of course, by comparing the texts, and referring to the data of the senses, and the primitives and axioms of the mind. From the study, the researcher concludes that the commentator's interest in criticizing the two covenants was not for itself, but rather as an exposition motivated by the Holy Qur'an, when he called for a decisive molar in many verses, to distort and alter the holy books of the Jews and Christians. The research clarified the contradiction and incoherence of the texts of the story of Adam, may God bless him and grant him peace, as it attributed lies and ignorance to Him, Glory be to Him, in addition to its defamation of the station of divinity, and the degradation of the status and dignity of the prophets. All of this proves its distortion and lack of vitality
