Which God?: Jesus, Holy Spirit, God in Christianity and Islam

by Mark Durie, William J. Murray (Foreword)

Do we worship the same God? Today many are asking this question. In Which God? Durie demonstrates that Christians have good reasons to challenge the Islamic position that Allah of the Quran is the same as the God of the Bible. Which God? compares the God of the Bible with Allah of the Quran and shows that these are different in many respects. They have such different personalities and distinct capacities that they cannot be said to be the same. More than this, the Islamic Jesus (Isa) is different in fundamental respects from Jesus of the Gospels. Durie concludes that the concept of 'Abrahamic Religions' is an unhelpful and misleading label for the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This is a new revised edition which includes a Foreword by William J. Murray.

Reviews

[Kiya]

Clear, concise, and convincing. Well-researched with a large amount of proof. I would feel comfortable with anyone reading this and believe the conclusions are the most valid and compelling one could reach.

My only concern is that some sub-points are presented as clear fact when there is some debate and nuance. Arguments tend to lose some credibility when the reader is aware of valid missing information. However, this seems to be an intentional choice in favor of clarity rather than precision of sub-arguments, which helps the overall argument of the book.

[James]

There are few books that accurately and faithfully compare Christianity and Islam using key sources and figures. This work is a brilliant piece outlining the fundamental differences of the two faiths, and addresses the flawed approach of recent ecumenicals in the academic sphere who insist that Allah and YHWH are the same God.

Thank you for fearlessly publishing this!

Comparison and contrasts between Islam and Chistianity

Very good explanation of the similarities but more importantly the God of Abraham and the God of Ibrahim. Also discussed the understanding of the Holy Spirit as well as are Jesus and Isa the same.
