TWO FAITHS, ONE GOD?: CHRISTIANITY vs. ISLAM - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Two faiths, One God?... The answer may surprise you.

Christianity and Islam are the world's two largest religions, together claiming over four billion believers. They profess one God. And yet, at the level of what each tradition actually teaches, they are separated by differences so fundamental that no amount of diplomatic goodwill or political correctness can resolve them.

Two faiths, One God? is the book that finally says so — clearly, charitably, and without flinching.

Written for every Christian who has wondered what to make of Islam, this book examines the irreconcilable theological incompatibilities between the two faiths: the Trinity against tawhid, the divine Christ against the Quranic prophet, the crucifixion that Christianity stakes everything on against the Quran's explicit denial that it occurred...

It addresses the civic tensions created by classical Islamic law — the treatment of non-Muslims, the question of apostasy, and the status of women.

And it confronts honestly the consequences of the literal reading of Islamic scripture for the Christian civilisation that produced the cathedrals, the music, the culture and the art that the West has inherited.

This is not a book of hatred. It is a book of truth — spoken with the gentleness and respect that the Gospel demands, and with the conviction that honest difference, clearly named, serves both traditions better than comfortable confusion.
