Abstract

A group of Western Quranic researchers, who maintain that the Qur‟ an believes in the distortion of the Torah and the Gospel, have sought to accounted for the Quranic belief in distortion by an appeal to the existence of a Jewish-Christian sect, known as Ebionites, in the pre-Islamic era. In their view, this sect believed in the distortion of the Torah and/or the Gospel. In this paper, I sidestep the minor premise of the argument, that is, the Quranic belief in the distortion of the Torah and the Gospel, and concern myself with its major premise and the conclusion. With a survey of the earliest historical sources about Ebionites, I show that there is no reliable evidence that Ebionites believed in the distortion of the Bible. Even if we trust unreliable sources and admit that they did, then their motivations for the belief in distortion are in conflict with the Quranic belief system such that the Qur‟ an cannot plausibly be said to have inherited the Ebionite belief in this regard.
