چکیده

This article proposes an improvement to the methodology of the book "The other prophet; Jesus in the Qur'an." The main purpose of this article is to represent the role of holistic reading of the Qur'an, as a literary entity in the thematic research of the Qur'an. This article suggests that the holistic reading of the Qur'an should be prioritized over the holistic reading of the main surahs about the subject under research, which has been neglected in the unprecedented method of the book. To prove the hypothesis of authors, the clarity of the signs of Jesus would be promoted by his strengthening through the holy Spirit. This would lend the miracles and the signs themselves a different quality than those of the Old Testament prophets, as here and now they would be evidence of a special, spirit-induced affinity with God and of His authorization. The conceptual network of the ‘spiritʼ has been extracted from prophetology of the Qur'an to prove the above. Analyszing the conceptual network of the spirit in the Qur'an, containing the word revelation, divine command, and angels indicates that Jesus who benefits from the Holy Spirit can create and dominate beings with the best quality, in the position of God's successor. In other words, he can represent the clearest signs and miracles.
