What the biggest theological differences are between Christianity and Islam?
Over many years of observing Muslim, Christian, and, in this case, also Jewish scholars and lay people studying together, I’ve observed certain differences that folks from different traditions have — tendencies. Not always the same, but, for example, the Muslim scholars I’ve seen as compared to the Christian scholars, the Muslim scholars will tend to take nature much more seriously, will tend to assume that when they’re studying that their scriptural texts are teaching them what they should also be seeing with their eyes when they look at trees, when they study through microscopes. It’s the same truth. The Christian [scholars], and in this case are more like the Jewish scholars, the two of them think much more no, this is a text. This is a revealed knowledge, apart from the world, that we can apply to it. That’s one difference. I won’t go through the obvious differences of Trinity, you know, a God with three persons in one. That we all know. But how does that apply itself to the texts?
