TO MY MUSLIM FRIENDS

A Collection of Letters Written to the Muslim Readers as a Humble Attempt at Inter-religious Dialogue

TO MY MUSLIM FRIENDS is my humble and sincere effort at answering some of the key issues that the Muslims generally raise regarding the fundamental doctrines of the Holy Bible.

Not too many Christian scholars have addressed these issues adequately. Therefore, I have tried to deal with them according to the grace that God has granted to me.
These issues include the following:

• Who is God?
• Can we know Him?
• Can we call Him Father?
• Who is Jesus?
• Is Jesus God?
• Is He the Son of God?
• Can God become Man, taking birth through a virgin mother?
• How can God be a Triune God?
• The nature of the Holy Trinity
• The problem of sin
• The divine plan
• Where is the mankind in this divine plan &
• Is the originality of the Bible compromised in the course of time?

There are also other issues dealt with in passing.

By experience I have learnt that many are afraid of reading Bible and having first-hand knowledge about it. They think that it contains a spell or something and, if they read it, they would be bound by it and taken away from their own faith. Let me assure them through my writing that it is a misconception and nothing more than that.

However, there are some Muslims who have what we call scientific temperament, and they are open to consider these issues, not from biblical perspective but the rational, with due seriousness. I firmly believe that they will find my letters extremely useful in having in-depth understanding about fundamental biblical truths.
