 | | 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. | | | The religions both share a belief in Christ's virgin birth, his miracles and healings, and that he ascended bodily into heaven. | | | Christianity and the pagan religions of classical antiquity are popularly understood to have been rivals, with each seeking to persecute and destroy the other. |

Tennent | | | Anderson addresses the so-called, "evolutionary theory of religions," which asserts that religions start as animism, then polytheism and lastly monotheism. | | | However, this stands in sharp contrast to other religions, which have, for example, release from reincarnation as their "salvation." Anderson than classifies religions into two categories; those that are "this worldy" and those that are Hereafter oriented. |

| | Unlike the mystical and subjective religious systems of the East, Christianity is a body of belief (and practice) that either stands or falls on the basis of its historical claims. | | | The sincerity and dedication of many of the devotees of the Eastern religions (that admittedly sometimes puts some “Christians” to shame) can never be a substitute for humble obedience to God through the acceptance of His Son. | | | The eastern mystic religions are growing in popularity. |
