Is the Quran or Bible the Word of God? Christianity or Islam?

About the Book

Is the Quran the Word of God or the Bible?

The Bible teaches that Jesus died on the cross for sin:

Is the Qur'an the Word of God by Aaron Goerner

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

Islam denies Jesus’ death on the cross based on the following passage from the Quran:

And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain(An-Nisa 4.157).

Over the years I have presented the following invitation to Muslims:

If you prove that Jesus did not die on the cross then you disprove Christianity. On the other hand, if Jesus was crucified then isn’t the Qur’an wrong? Why believe the Qur’an when it contradicts what God had revealed before Muhammad?

These questions have led to conversation with hundreds of Muslims from around the world including: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United States, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
