When Christians read the Qur’an, they will notice how different it is from the Bible. The god it speaks about, the prophet it proclaims, and the way of life it encourages stand at odds with the core tenets of the Christian faith. It is in these differences that we can ask many questions of Islam. Muslims challenge Christians on three key topics – God, Jesus His Son, and the Bible. We, too, can ask Muslims about Allah, Muhammad and the Qur’an. Asking questions is the way of Jesus. In the Gospels, Jesus asked hundreds of questions that challenged preconceived notions and false ideas. This talk looks at topics of conversation, obstacles to discussions with Muslims, our theological differences, and a biblical response to Islam.
