What Indeed Did Jesus Say? -- A Rebuttal of "What Did Jesus Really Say?"
What Indeed Did Jesus Say?
A Rebuttal to
What Did Jesus Really Say?
Introductory Remarks
By writing the book "What Did Jesus Really Say?",
Misha'al Ibn
Abdullah Al-Kadhi has done Christians the favor of producing a
compendium summarizing most Islamic arguments against Christianity
and the Bible. This now presents the opportunity to systematically
rebut the current Islamic apologetics/propaganda in one place by
answering his claims section by section. Obviously, it will take
some time to complete this task since the book is over 600 pages
long. But when many share in the effort, this is indeed managable
and of lasting value. Al-Kadhi's book is available on the web in
HTML format:
First Edition,
Second Edition,
and can also be downloaded in MS Word format.
[Several years later: I discover that this book has now spread
far and wide. It is offered with ever more fancy design (though
anonymized, since the name of the author is nowhere to be found there) like in
this page
and particularly the site http://www.plaintruth.org/,
and is linked on literally hundreds of Islamic web sites,
-- none of which links back to our response -- but to
this day, over 4 years after challenging the author to openly
debate his claims, we have not received any response from him
or any Muslim site who would engage in discussing our rebuttals.]
Not all chapters below have the same quality of response. They are
written by many different people in different styles. Some are simple
Christians who give common sense answers, others have scholarly
credentials and their responses might take more effort to read and
understand. Some might even still contain some (theological or other)
errors or not very helpful answers. That is where our Christian readers
come in. This is not a static site. Every suggestion for improvement
will be gratefully received and if possible integrated.
Feel free to make corrections and
submit improved versions for any of
the sections, whether just for a sentence, a paragraph or a completely
rewritten article on any of the sections below, if you feel that you
have a stronger case or a way of expressing it more clearly. The body
of Christ needs to work together on this. It is too large for one
person. For some issues, alternative answers might be warranted. We
can present them both.
So that you don't have to wait too long until there are full direct
answers to all sections, we provide links to pages which deal with
topics discussed in this chapter and are relevant to the issue but
might not be direct responses yet. Most of the issues have been
discussed many times and there is no need to rewrite it every time
a Muslims formulates things a little bit differently. Also, these
links to relevant material will help you volunteers to formulate
direct rebuttals to Mr. Al-Kadhi.
WIP means the promise that there is "Work In Progress" and
Who? indicates that this section still needs a volunteer to
write an answer for it.
