Comments on: The Audacity of Hope http://brotherskeptapart.com/2009/04/22/the-audacity-of-hope/ Examining the Christian and Muslim religious traditions that have kept Christians and Muslims apart for over 1,300 years.

Walter,
I know you know this, but it might be interesting for Muslims to read the quotes from the Bible I gave a link to.

The suras in the Qur’an referring to the Bible are generally understood as meaning that the Bible texts -and especially in the NT- were altered.
But it is my understanding that what is really meant is that the interpretations were distorted, not the actual text.

This must be the case, because there are many very old Biblical manuscripts on display in museums, written in the time the described events took place, or only a few decades later. And those ancient text are not different from the currently printed ones, although some versions vary slightly in their translations to other languages. But same is the case with the translations of Qur’an. And the texts of the latter book were written down considerable time after the events they describe, as is also the case with the Hadith.

I thought the Qur’an claims that Jesus is but a prophet, not the Son of God, while in the Bible there are examples that can be easily interpreted as meaning that He is indeed God in human appearance.

I reviewed the information about Deists that is linked to your response. Can you explain what Deists think about Jesus? Is He more than a prophet as the Bible and Qur’an claim?

Regards,
Walter.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, the 21st Century KJV does not have the footnotes describing modifications from earlier and later manuscripts. This information is critical when making conclusive statements about Biblical teachings.

Walter

Please be advised that the Qur’an refers the reader to the Bible for theological beliefs. It also gives a version of historical events from an Ishmaelite perspective.

(Just my personal preference…)

Let me suggest that you read the New King James Version of the Bible, which contains, what appears to be a complete set of footnotes describing any modifications to later manuscripts. Actually, if you are a student of the Bible, I not only suggest it, but recommend it. You can access it on-line at BibleGateway.com.

Best regards,
Walter
