Abstract

Regarding to the mission of the commentators of the Holy Quran in expressing the meaning, interpretations and exegesis of the verses of the Holy Quran, in this study, views and ideas of those commentators regarding the expression and understanding of several verses of the Quran that have criticized the fundamental Christian doctrinal thoughts and ideas have been explored and evaluated. Explaining and assessing the views of various Quranic commentators on this subject can lead to a better understanding of these verses of the Holy Quran and clarify some ambiguities and questions about them; In addition, it introduces a range of critical views of the Christian faith that have received little attention, because despite some flaws, shortcomings, and inadequacies, many of the criticisms of the Quranic commentators are noteworthy and justifiable. In this research, drawing on various interpretations, and based on an analytical method, questions about verses such as An-Nisa:157, as well as Al-Ma'idah:17,73 and 116 have been investigated. Other criticisms of Quranic commentators on Christian teachings have been also examined.
