 | | Christians however neither recognize the Qur'an as a genuine book of divine revelation, nor agree with its assessment of Jesus as a mere prophet, on par with Muhammad, nor for that matter accept that Muhammad was a genuine prophet. | | | Christianity is a monotheistic religion recognizing Jesus Christ as its founder and central figure. | | | Christianity is sometimes termed an Abrahamic religion, along with Judaism and Islam. |

| | Cardinal Francis Arinze - Christian-Muslim Relations in the 21st Century |
| | Christians and Muslims are called upon to develop such harmonious relations in the 21st century that while maintaining their differing religious identities, they can show the world that they share respect for God and that they believe that human conduct should follow God's will and law. | | | Christians are taught by their religion to examine their conscience each day, especially in the evening, to accept responsibility for any wrongs they may have done, and to repent and beg God for forgiveness. | | | Christian and Muslim leaders cannot remain indifferent in front of the manipulation of religion by politicians. |

| | And so the early Christians answered this question by saying that he was the divine son of God. | | | It was this great experience with the historical Jesus that led the early Christians to see him as the divine son of God. | | | In this paper we shall discuss the experiences of early Christians which lead to three rather orthodox doctrines--the divine sonship of Jesus, the virgin birth, and the bodily resurrection. |

| | A NEW CENTURY OF CHRISTIAN MARTYRDOM: THE UNTOLD MIDDLE EASTERN CRISIS by Srdja Trifkovic |

Those are their claims that do indeed resemble the sayings of the Infidels of Old. | | | It is a cruel irony that the plight of indigenous Christians remained invisible to hundreds of thousands of Christians from Europe and North America-from mainstream churches and fringe groups-who descended on the Holy Land to mark the 2,000th anniversary of their faith. | | | Fourteen centuries after Muhammad the real question for the free world—and the term is more apt now than it had been at any time during the Cold War—the real question is not "why does a Muslim wage jihad." In a sane world such a question would concern nobody but social anthropologists. |

| | The Christian Century: Rwanda and Genocide in the Twentieth Century. @ HighBeam Research |
| | As Longman argues, one reason Christians failed to resist the forces that led to genocide was the Rwandan church's close relationship with the Habyarimana government and the refusal of church leaders to support groups and individuals advocating reform. | | | There is similar evidence of complicit Christian leaders and institutions, evidence that poses a challenge to the credibility of faith. | | | For instance, Timothy Longman's contribution to In God's Name: Genocide and Religion in The Twentieth Century documents the active involvement of church personnel and institutions in the genocide: "Numerous priests, pastors, nuns, brothers, catechists, and Catholic and Protestant lay leaders supported, participated in, or helped to organize the killings," Longman writes. |

| | Christ Myth Refuted. Did Jesus Exist? A Christian Response |
| | The issue here relates to the Jewish belief that the Christ, when he came, would not proclaim himself (a belief we see evidenced from Jesus' own circumspection in claiming to be Messiah, and in that Bar Kochba, when he arrived, did not claim the title for himself, but allowed others to proclaim it for him). | | | The fact of Christianity's beginnings and the character of its earliest tradition is such that we could only deny the existence of Jesus by hypothesizing the existence of some other figure who was a sufficient cause of Chrstianity's beginnings - another figure who on careful reflection would probably come out very like Jesus! | | | It involves too many complex and speculative hypotheses, in contrast to the much simpler explanation that there was a Jesus who said and did more or less what the first three Gospels attribute to him. |
