- The University of New England's Tangier Global Forum and its founding director, Anouar Majid, host Gabriel Said Reynolds on "The Quran's Conversation with the Bible" in Tangier, Morocco. The event took place on Thursday, April 20, 2017.
Quran mirrors the msg that Jesus preached to the ppl of Isaac, now in Arabic to the ppl of Ishmael. Christianity today seems different because churches are directly contradicting what Jesus preached. The Antichrist took over the church! From a 'woke'Christian who decided to read the Bible like a storybook from page 1 to the end and it pointed me to the Quran.
Gen 22:18 - God promised Abraham that all nations on earth will be blessed through his offspring. God sent messengers in the respective local languages to the ppl of Ishmael and Isaac who are then to spread the word and bless all nations on earth. Do you see what's happening -😈 is using Isaac to fight Ishmael. They are supposed to be brothers not enemies!
Thank you professor Reynolds. Your books on the Qur'ans expansion of the mythology of its day has been extremely important to helping expand my understanding of the origins of the Qur'an.
This book must have taken tremendous research effort to compose.
3:11 is when the lecture begins
Would it be possible that someone translate the Arabic questions in subtitles?!
The christian faith of nowadays is not the faith founded by Jesus(PBUH) but founded by Paul.
Quran is making reference to christianity as it was by the time of prophet Mohammad(PBUH) and his place (Arabia). We do not have scriptures of christianity relating to that period of time.
For example, Quran says that some christians adorated Mary mother of Jesus and considered her God.
We cannot find a reference to such a belief in today's Bible. Of course such claims are not part of the original Injil as it was given to prophet Jesus (PBUH).
The Collyridians were a heretic group in Arabia prior to Islam, and these people believed Mary to be a god... and it is this heresy that is found in the Quran and is accused towards all Christians (mistakenly).
As to the accusation of 'change' in the Bible, it is an accusation based on traditional opinion more than the Quran actually stating such a claim.
Simply put: the Quran does not accuse the Bible was changed.

your statement is not based on factual evidence! Christ and Christianity have indeed had the most plausible and convincing proof to be true and reliable not only by the those who were eyewitnesses to the events but also by non-Christian sources like Roman and Jews historians, at least thirty years after Jesus Christ death and resurrections. On the other hand, what we know about Arabic Prophet and His life and events has begun at least 140 years after His death. And this also had been and it is today carries so much controversy among two major sects of Islam.
My friend, What do early muslim scholars say about Paul?
The NT as it exists today existed in the same form in Muhammad's time. We have Greek manuscripts of the NT that predate Muhammad. Discrepancies between the Quran and the NT are because Muhammad didn't know what he was talking about.
You are confusing some things here. For Christians it is not relevant what some people, who may call themselves Christians, practice. It is relevant what is written in the scriptures. If we do not find any reference to idololatrous practices in the Bible, that is the case because the Bible never thought it and humans invented their own rules, as they did in Sinai. Muslims claim that the injeel aka the Good News, is lost. However, the Qur'an doesn't have anything either, so what is that whole claim about? Contrary to this claim, the Good News are of course not lost - it is recorded in the testimonies about Jesus ministries, that were written down and collected in the so called New Testament. In contrast to the Qur'an, the New Testament doesn't contain apocryphal and Gnostic writings, but is an authentic account of the birth, life and ministry of Jesus, including his proclamation of the Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God came true with the coming of the Messiah and he saved and continues to save all those who are willing to repent and to follow the Christ. Following Christ means to become like him, since he was the perfect example of how humans should be and the Qur'an unwillingly admits that without understanding what that really means. This literally IS the Good News - that it is now possible for men to deny themselves and to become like Christ in order to reconcile with God. If this is not Good News, then I don't know. The Quran has no clue whatsoever in this direction. It has no vision of salvation, just a set of rules that have to be obeyed blindely.
The pharaoh confusion is not correct. The interpretation is invalid, it is misleading.
Geiger ang Reynolds are simply using tahrif or distortion as interpretation something used for the bible
Holy Qu'ran is thr ward of Allah which still the same from its origin.
Reynolds barely speaks any Arabic. I thought he speaks a good Arabic, given his Arabic origin. I always wonder how people who have such little knowledge of Arabic can analyze, evaluate and even judge the Qur’an.
1. The ability to speak a spoken dialect of Arabic and the ability to properly analyze Quranic Arabic are two different skills.
2. He speaks the shamī dialect; his wife is Lebanese.
