Dutch scholar of Islam born in 1937. Studied theology and Islam, including Arabic at the Free University in Amsterdam. He was also a student of Jan Gonda (1905-1991), the specialist on Hinduism at Utrecht University. Wessels wrote a thesis on A Modern Arabic Biography of Muhammad A Critical Study of Muhammad Husayn Haykal’s Hayât  Muhammad. Leiden. Brill, 1972. In preparation for this book he stayed two long periods in Cairo and in this way became acquainted with Muslim scholars in Egypt. For several years he taught as an associate professor for Islamic studies at the Near East School of Theology (NEST) in Beirut. In 1977 he was appointed full professor at his alma mater in Amsterdam. He turned out to be a prolific writer whose publications were also read by many beyond the academic world, among them many Muslims. His main publications were about the Qur’an, Islam, Christian-Muslim Relations, and Christianization and secularization in Europe. In 1978 he wrote De Moslimse Naaste, Op weg naar een theologie van de Islam (The Muslim Neighbour. Towards a theology of Islam) in which he recognized, a Christian, the prophethood of Muhammad, not the last prophet as Muslims do but as prophet comparable to the prophets mentioned in the Old Testament. Since Wessels retired from the university in 2003 he stepped up his writing activities. His trilogy understanding Judaism, Christianity, and Islam resulted in The Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur’an. Three Books, Two Cities, One Tale (2013). This book was published in Arabic in 2014 and in Persian in 2017. The second book followed in 2017: A Stranger is Calling: Jews, Christians and Muslims as Fellow Travelers. The third book is The Grand Finale.
