Crucifixion: what do the Qur'an and the Bible say?
Chapters
Was Jesus really crucified, or did another die in his place? Did Jesus die at all? This booklet explores these important questions, exploring the Bible, Qur'an and other essential sources.
Have you ever wondered why you believe what you believe? How do you know what you believe is true? Is it just a leap of faith or can it be verified with evidence?
It’s important to examine what we believe. Eternity depends on it! If you are sure that what you believe is true then there should be no fear of examining it more closely.
In this booklet the Christian and Islamic views of Jesus are compared and contrasted. Since the first century the Bible has described Jesus as having been crucified, buried and resurrected under Pontius Pilate. The Qur’an denies Jesus’ death by crucifixion. But is there evidence to establish what really happened to Jesus? Is the Qur’an justified in denying Jesus’ death by crucifixion?
