Islam and Christianity: How to Respond from an Apologetic Perspective

Islam and Christianity:

How to Respond from an Apologetic Perspective

July 21, 2022 • Thursday • 6:00pm US Central Time

When God called us to “make disciples of all the nations”, He meant ALL the nations—not just other Christians and denominations, but every person from every group and ethnicity. We encounter people of different faiths and beliefs on a daily basis. Despite our differences, God commands us to still walk in love. When we want to share the truth with others, we must remember to approach them without judgment or hypocrisy and with the same love we want them to discover.

There is an estimate of over 4,000 religions practiced all over the world today. Out of that 4,000, Christianity and Islam are two of the largest. Both Christians and Muslims are monotheistic; however, they have differing views on God. And although there are a number of similarities between the two beliefs, Christianity and Islam contrast in their views of Jesus, sin, the sacred text, and other aspects as well. With many of these opposing perspectives, how can we discern the truth and bring others to it?

Join Al Fadi and our host, Dr. Fred Chay, as they discuss the Islamic belief today and how we, as Christians, can respectfully respond through an apologetic approach.
