Asad is good but some of his views aren't orthodox. The miracles of Jesus aren't physical, Jesus died a natural death and wasn't raised alive into Heaven. See his note on 4:157 for starters. And he wasn't a Qadiani.

I was a little confused by this but after reading it again I believe you were attributing those beliefs about 'Isa AS to the translation made by Asad?

It worries me who to pick up and read in case I do come across unorthodox views like you mentioned, especially if they are subtle ones. I usually stick to Yusuf Ali/Pickthall as I have heard them spoken about a lot and hence can trust that these are safe to read.
