The Uniqueness of Jesus in the Qur’an and the Bible by John Gilchrist.

For too long Christians and Muslims have debated their differences of belief about Jesus Christ in a context which has allowed scant room for discussion about those points in the Qur'an and the Bible where these two books are in agreement about certain features of his life and personality. The time has come, surely, for Christians and Muslims to analyze these points of agreement for we are unlikely ever to come to a consensus of [...]

The Unmeetable Challenge to Islamic “History” by Vladimir Susic

When we talk about unmeetable challenges, we often think about some marvelous achievement in technology or science that nobody can quite meet. However, in theological waters, an unmeetable challenge is one that utterly destroys the opponents worldview by posing a question that inherently, if unanswered,leaves his position unbelievable. One of the unmeetable challenges that can be leveled against Islam are the ones in regards to their views of history. Islam, in its theology, holds many [...]

Origins and Sources of the Gospel of Barnabas by John Gilchrist

INTRODUCTION Although the Gospel of Barnabas has in recent years been distributed fairly widely throughout the Muslim world in many languages, most Muslims have not as yet seen a copy of this book. Nevertheless the knowledge of its existence is fairly widespread in the Muslim community. Since 1973 the English translation of the Gospel of Barnabas by Lonsdale and Laura Ragg has been reprinted in large numbers by the Begum Aisha Bawany Wakf in Pakistan [...]

Was Mohammad a true prophet of God? Does the Bible Predict Mohammad? by Vladimir Susic

Part 1: Is Mohammad a true prophet of God? While our Muslim friends would certainly answer "Yes",we as Christians, are to "test the spirits" (1 John 4:1) and not to take any theological claim,or any claim in general without evidence. Even tho we know historically that much of what we know about Mohammad's life are latter opinions from eight and ninth century,contained in the "Hadith",transmited by "Isnad",or,chains of narration,non written chains of narration that is,one [...]

What Indeed Was the Sign of Jonah? by John Gilchrist

According to both the Bible and the Qur'an, Jesus Christ performed many mighty miracles during his brief three-year ministry in the land of Israel. Many of the Jews were led to believe in him when they saw such signs and wonders being performed. The Jewish leaders, however, refused to believe in him and although his miracles were widely known they often pressed him hard to perform signs or, indeed, even give them a sign from [...]

Siege of the Prophets: Muhammad Jesus and Moses? Pastor Rudolph Boshoff.

This is a follow on from an earlier article I published that asked the question: "Is Muhammad the Prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18?" This article will give only 10 reasons why it couldn't have been Muhammad! I would like to keep it short and direct so that you the reader can peruse it for yourself! Muhammad Jesus and Moses?  Can we deem these three figures on the same level? I honestly do not think so, [...]

My take on Yahya Snow’s “South African Christian-Muslim Apologetics Review of Yusuf Bux and Rudolph Boshoff (Ad Lucem)”.

Original Commentary can be viewed here: “Rudolph Boshoff's opening salvo included the old love argument” Response: Mr Snow is right, I did include the argument of love. Before we even get to the “love argument” I think it is fair to reply that the structure that I followed was the following: The Trinitarian Worldview. Reasons given for rejecting the doctrine of the Trinity. Reasons given for accepting the doctrine of the Trinity. Evaluating divine transcendence and [...]

Our approach to Islam: Charity or Militancy? by John Gilchrist.

OUR APPROACH TO ISLAM: THE CHRISTIAN ALTERNATIVE: TOLERANCE AND RESPECT. "And I will show you a still more excellent way ... Love is patient and kind".1 Corinthians 13.1,4  The Jihad option was perhaps the Church's first real response to Islam. After the initial expansion of Islam during the first hundred and fifty years after Muhammad's death, when Muslim armies marched across North Africa and into Spain, conquering most of the Middle East and parts of [...]

A sober review of Reza Aslan’s “Zealot:the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth” by Pastor Rudolph Boshoff

Currently, on the New York NR1#, the bestseller list is Reza Aslan's "Zealot: the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth". In this article I would like to look at seven of Aslan’s points and weigh its validity: 1. Jesus was a violent revolutionary Many scholars have argued that Jesus was a political figure. After all, he was crucified by Rome, and crucifixion was at the time punishment for political offenses. But these scholars often [...]

The Bible compared to other religious texts by Winfred Corduan.

Once again, I wish to underscore that a survey of all the writings for which inspiration has been claimed at one time or another is not possible. In the preceding argument, I tried to show that one is not necessary either. Further, one could even question that such a survey is desirable for reasons other than the quest for knowledge, once it has been established that there is one exclusively inspired Scripture. Still, we can [...]
