Bismika Allahuma Muslim Responses to Anti-Islam Polemics

Bible Textual Integrity

Is the Bible that we have in our hands today unchanged? Or has it undergone extensive revisions and alterations? Truth is the first victim in the Christian apologetical literature. This is because if they tell the truth about the Church history and its role in formulating the Bible (or Bibles) as well as the manuscript tradition of the New Testament, belief in the Bible as the “Word” of God would take the beating and the Churches would go absolutely empty. Hence it is not be surprising to find an average Christian’s knowledge about his own scriptures is pretty close to zero.

This page is to educate the Muslims about the Bible of the Christians, concerning mainly with its compilation and textual reliability. It is often seen that Christian missionaries dupe less-knowledgeable Muslims about the Bible by saying that the Qur’an confirms the Bible and hence Muslims should believe in the Bible. Muslims should remember that the Qur’an attests that the Torah, Zabur and Injil as revelations from God given to the Prophet. It does not attest to whatever writers of the Old Testament or Paul of Tarsus in the New Testament wrote or said.
