No God but One: Allah or Jesus? (with Bonus Content): A Former Muslim Investigates the Evidence for Islam and Christianity by Nabeel Qureshi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a well-written & documented & powerful book that is really Part 2 to Qureshi's Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus book, which was basically his testimony of becoming a disciple of Jesus. This volume is a well-reasoned & logical apologetic for New Testament belief in Jesus Christ as the promised Old Testament Messiah, and for the clear claims of Jesus' deity, death, burial, and resurrection. Qureshi does a good job of showing why probably the most important comparison in Christianity & Islam is between who Jesus is believed to be by Christians and what the Qu'ran is believed to be by Muslims. As someone who came out of Islam--and a very strong Islamic upbringing/faith--Qureshi gives key insights into his own struggles/journey to faith in Christ and his decision to leave Islam. He outlines a number of holes/deficiencies in Islam's arguments on behalf of both the Qu'ran & Mohammad that are not made available to most Muslims. He also points out the problems with the standard Islamic arguments against the well-established historical facts of Jesus life/death/resurrection, as well as the integrity of the Bible.
