Where do we start discussing Christianity and Islam – are they even different religions at all, or are they in fact two different approaches to the same God? In these first videos, Richard discusses the foundational differences between the two faiths and the way each approaches concepts of God, doubt, and belief.

The identity and character of God, and what is understood by that, has a huge impact on the followers and fundamental principles of a religion. This section explores some of the theological concepts at the centre of Islam and Christianity, and how the person of God is seen through that.

The Qur’an is central to Islam, but why exactly does it hold so much weight for Muslims and does the Bible hold the same significance for Christians? Looking at the claims of Qur’anic infallibility, Richard unpacks how these ideas shape the Islamic view of law and whether these claims hold up.

What do Christians and Muslims agree about Jesus – and why is Jesus such an important figure in the Qur’an? This final section of the series examines how disparate views of Jesus mark a supreme difference between Islam and Christianity, and ways in which we can explore this in respectful conversation.
