What the Qur’an says about the bible by Dr. William Campbell

Whenever a Christian quotes the Bible to a Muslim in order to establish why he believes something, the Muslim almost always responds by saying, "BUT YOU CHANGED YOUR BIBLE." In making this very serious accusation, Muslims usually use the word "harrafa" and quote verses from the Qur'an where this word is used. Therefore in this chapter, we are going to make a detailed study of what the Qur'an actually says about the Torah of Moses, the Psalms (Zabur) of David [...]

Muslim Writers on the corruption of the Hebrew Bible by Rudolph P. Boshoff

In Chapter Seven of Scholar Camilla Adang's book," Muslim Writers on Judaism and the Hebrew Bible: From Ibn Rabban to Ibn Hazm", she writes regarding the corruption or authenticity of the Jewish Scriptures (the Torah).

Christianity or Islam: Which Aligns Best with the Teaching of the Prophets? by Rudolph P. Boshoff

The question of whether Christianity or Islam aligns best with the teachings of the prophets is not new. Both traditions claim continuity with the prophets of Israel, yet their understandings of God’s revelation and the mission of the Messiah are radically different. As Christians, we affirm that the New Testament fulfills the Old Testament promises, while Islam presents a later reinterpretation that diverges from the prophetic message. 1. The Prophets Anticipated God’s Final Redemption From [...]

The Islamic Dilemma: A Scholarly Breakdown by Rudolph P. Boshoff

One of the most discussed arguments in Christian-Muslim dialogue is what apologist David Wood calls “The Islamic Dilemma.” The heart of the issue lies in the Qur’an’s claims about earlier scriptures—the Torah and the Gospel—and the way these claims clash with Islamic theology. Here is a summary of David's presentation with Muslim John Fontaine, who was recently there.  In this article, we will examine the dilemma in detail, drawing on Wood’s presentation, Qur’anic texts, and [...]

Christian Living in the Grey: 7 Questions That Clear the Fog by Rudolph P. Boshoff

Not every decision in life is black and white. Some choices fall into what we call “grey areas”—matters not directly addressed in Scripture. These can involve lifestyle choices, cultural practices, or personal freedoms. Thankfully, the Bible equips us with principles to help us discern wisely. Here are seven key questions and a few additional tools to guide you through life’s grey areas: 1. Is it Good or Evil? The first filter is moral clarity. If [...]

The Heart of Giving: What Scripture Says by Rudolph P. Boshoff

The Bible speaks clearly about giving and generosity, showing that it is both an act of worship and a testimony of our faith. From the Old Testament to the New, God calls His people to live generously, not out of compulsion but out of love for Him and others. Giving in the Old Testament Under the Mosaic covenant, God commanded His people to bring a tithe (10%) of their produce and livestock to support [...]

Counting and the Trinity: Identity, Division, and the Logic of Divine Unity by Rudolph P. Boshoff

Orthodox Thinker, Jay Dyer, recently made a statement about division and how we relate the concept of complex divisibility and unity when examining the Doctrine of the Trinity. You can watch the clip here. One of the most persistent objections to the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, particularly from Muslim theologians and apologists, is the claim that it violates monotheism. The reasoning goes: if the Father is God, the Son is God, and the [...]

Gnostic Motifs in the text of the Qur’an by Rudolph P. Boshoff

Below is a short description of how Gnostic or apocryphal elements may be found in the following Qur’anic passages. These passages parallel the revelation found in the Qur'an.

Yahweh with Us: When the Prophets Foretold God’s Arrival by Rudolph P. Boshoff

One of the most profound truths affirmed throughout the Scriptures is the deity of the Messiah. While many turn to the New Testament for explicit affirmations of Christ's divinity, it is the Hebrew prophets, centuries before His coming, who first bore witness to this staggering reality. In this article, we examine several key prophetic passages that portray the Messiah not merely as a human deliverer, but as divine, God with us. 1. The Virgin Birth [...]
