Christoph Luxenberg is the pseudonym of the author of the 2000 book Die Syro-Aramäische Lesart des Koran: Ein Beitrag zur Entschlüsselung der Koransprache (in English: The Syro-Aramaic reading of the Qur'an: a contribution to the decipherment of the Quranic language). This book explores a philological and text-critical approach to the understanding of the Qur'an. As this approach goes against the traditional ways of interpreting the Qur'an, as used within Islam and, surprisingly, by the majority of non-Muslim scholars, Luxenberg's approach has become controversial in the eyes of the less tolerant. To avoid becoming himself a controversial figure and for his personal safety, Christoph Luxenberg feels obliged to hide his true identity. According to some people, he is a Lebanese Christian, others hold him to be a German semitist. Some are concerned that an academic researcher in the field of comparitive Semitic language studies feels he has to remain anonymous for his own safety. ...more on Wikipedia about "Christoph Luxenberg"

It is usually translated as Gospel, as in the four Gospels of the New Testament. However, Muslim scholars generally dispute this.
