Christianity and Islam According to The Bible and The Quran (Confirming prophethood of Jesus)

About This Book

Christianity and Islam According to The Bible and The Quran by Naser Al-Moghamis is a comparative study of the two religions based on their scriptures. The author holds that a religion should be judged by its own teachings rather than by its opponents or by followers who do not practice it, so he compares Islam and Christianity through what the Qur'an and the Bible actually say. Each point he makes about Islam is supported by verses of the Qur'an, and each point about Christianity by verses of the Bible.

An introduction written for Christian readers explains who Allah is, what the Qur'an is, and what the words "Islam" and "Muslim" mean. The author states that his aims include confirming the Islamic view of Jesus (peace be upon him) as a great messenger and the Christ, arguing against the doctrines of the Trinity, Original Sin, and Blood Atonement, presenting the Qur'an as unchanged revelation, and making the case that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was foretold in the Bible.
