Explaining Why Jesus, as God, Died: A Christian Perspective for a Muslim Audience
$37.00$27.00
The question of why Jesus, believed by Christians to be divine, died on the cross is one that stirs deep curiosity and reflection, especially in conversations between Christians and Muslims. Both faiths hold Jesus—known as Isa in Islam—in high esteem, yet our understandings of his role and nature diverge in profound ways. For Christians, Jesus’ death is not a moment of defeat but the cornerstone of God’s redemptive love for humanity, a mystery that reveals both divine justice and boundless mercy. To a Muslim, who reveres Jesus as a mighty prophet and upholds God’s absolute transcendence, this claim invites thoughtful exploration.
This book seeks to bridge that gap with clarity and respect, offering a comprehensive Christian perspective on Jesus’ divinity and death while acknowledging the Islamic viewpoint. Across 20 chapters, we will unpack the theological, historical, and spiritual dimensions of this belief, addressing questions like: How can God die? Why was such a sacrifice necessary? And what does this mean for humanity? Written with humility, this work is not about proving one faith over another but about fostering understanding in the spirit of shared devotion to God. May this journey deepen our mutual respect and illuminate the beauty of our respective faiths as we seek truth together.
