The subject of this study is the assessment of the information about Christianity in al-Esas fi't-Tafsir (Said Havva) in terms of the history of religions. The phenomenon of Christianity found an important place in Said Havva's work al-Esas fi't-Tafsir. This tafsir study, which has many members in many parts of the world, seeks solutions to today's problems and determines the reflections of the verses to the present day, contains important information about Christianity. The aim of the study is how the information about Christianity in the Qur'an is interpreted in al-Esas fi't-Tafsir (Said Havva) and how it is evaluated in terms of the History of Religions. The fact that such a study has not been done before is important in terms of encouraging research on this subject. Issues related to Christianity, firstly Christian sources and literature, and then how they are handled in al-Esas fi't-Tafsir are presented. In this study Said Havva interpreted the subjects such as the trinity, falsification, enlightenment, original sin, atonement, the cross, the descent and reappearance of Jesus, which have been the subject of polemics between Muslims and Christians for centuries, in a defensive manner, in line with the Ahl as-Sunnah.
