Islam

Where the Gospel and the Qur’an speak about God, Jesus, and what happened at the cross.

Muslim neighbors are protecting the oneness of God. A useful conversation treats that concern as serious. Christians also say God is one. The disagreement is about whether the Son and the Spirit are partners beside God or the one God’s own life, and about whether Jesus was crucified and raised.

Read short passages from the Qur’an and from a Gospel in the same sitting. Do not argue from a paraphrase you have not opened. These pages are starting points, written from a Trinitarian Christian standpoint, and they try to say what the Qur’an affirms about Jesus before they say where Christians cannot follow.
