1:00:04 Q and A session
Below are some videos we have done which briefly explores some of the topics explained in the book "The Quran With Christian Commentary: A Guide To Understanding The Scripture Of Islam" by Gordon Nickel.
A critical review part one
Briefly explores the assertion of "versions" of the Qur'an. A practical, easily understood demonstration of how this is an incorrect notion is given.
A critical review part two
Explores the idea that the Qur'an indirectly advocates the worship of Muhammad. The blog article referenced in the video can be found here
A critical review part three
A detailed reply to the notion shared in the work that Islam advocates blanket killing of Non Muslims.
While this work and subject matter may seem trivial or unimportant to some, it is my view that such publications, aimed at Christian readers who maybe inclined to investigate Islamic teachings, does a disservice by disseminating factually incorrect ideas about the faith, and it hampers both education and relations between faith communities. I have NO problem with a person adhering to their faith and their claims of religious truths, however, it is a serious calamity when ideas about "the other" is faulty.
We recommend to all Non Muslim readers who are interested in the Qur'an to actually read the Qur'an for themselves. There are a number of good translations and commentaries available in English. One need not rely upon works produced by Orientalists or Christian missionary publishing houses.
A Critical Review part four
The work has suggested that Muslims in fact worship an entity different from the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. It has indicated that this is shown by a sort of indifference that the "Islamic God" has vis-a vis the Loving gentle nature of God in Christianity. Numerous Quranic verses are shared on this topic.
