Who Is God and How Are We Saved?

Posted in Christianity, Contentious Issues, Islam on September 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

On March 2, 2009 GDS Knowledge Consultants hosted a Muslim Christian dialogue in Dubai. It featured Thabiti Anyabwile giving the Christian perspective and Bassam Zawadi giving the Muslim perspective. Both men did well in representing the two largest religions in the world. I especially appreciated the candor and grace that was evident throughout. Neither man [...]

Holy Week Pictures

Posted in Christianity, Christians, Jesus Christ on April 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I immediately wanted to post a link to The Big Picture’s Holy Week 2010 pictures. But I had second thoughts after looking at the pictures. Most of the pictures come from traditions that are not biblical and began hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ. Especially sad are the traditions in which penitents [...]

Scriptural Reasoning

Posted in Christianity, Islam, Religion, Understanding on March 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I recently found the website Scriptural Reasoning from Usama Hasan’s blog. It looks very interesting. It was started by some Jewish, Christian and Muslim scholars who wanted to better understand one another’s faiths. So they began to meet together and read about different topics from their holy books. Now there are other small groups doing [...]

Last month I posted on fasting in Islam in light of the beginning of the month of Ramadan when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 days. In my experience I have found that some Muslims don’t know that Christians fast as well. And unfortunately I know that there are many Christians who don’t [...]

A Muslim’s View of John Calvin

Posted in Christianity on August 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I like John Calvin. Yes, he had his blind spots (doesn’t everyone?), but he was a very careful, thoughtful and helpful Bible teacher. I’ve learned much from him and am enjoying reading his Institutes of the Christian Religion. This year we celebrate the 500th anniversary of his birth. Many people have no idea who he [...]

The End Times in Christian Thought

Posted in Christianity, Theology on July 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Earlier I posted on the Islamic view of the end times. Here I am linking to a lecture given by Dr. Wayne Grudem on the Christian view of the end times. You can listen to it and/or read the outline of his lecture. As Svend pointed out in the comments section of the Islamic view, [...]

What Is a Christian?

Posted in Christianity, Understanding on July 27, 2009 | 6 Comments »

It is good to learn about people of other religions, but we must be careful that we don’t only learn about other religions from teachers in our own religion. Yes, I can learn things about Islam from other Christians, but if I am really going to learn about Islam it is essential that I also [...]
