Description
Did Jesus Christ really die on the cross—or does the Quran tell a completely different story?
Join Al Fadi for the beginning of a brand-new series, Easter and the Resurrection, as we examine one of the most significant theological disagreements between Christianity and Islam: the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
For Christians, the death and resurrection of Jesus are at the very center of the Gospel. But Islamic teaching presents a dramatically different account.
In Quran 4:157, the text states that Jesus was neither killed nor crucified, but that it was made to appear so to those who believed it happened.
This raises some major questions.
If Jesus was not crucified, why did His earliest followers proclaim His death and resurrection? Why do historians widely recognize the crucifixion of Jesus under Roman authority as a historical event? And why does the Quran, appearing centuries after the events of the New Testament, present such a different account?
Al Fadi challenges the traditional Islamic interpretation of this passage and examines the implications of the claim that Jesus only appeared to have been crucified.
Did Allah allow people to believe something that never happened? And what would that mean for the reliability of the Quran?
In this episode, we explore:
What Islam teaches about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
Quran 4:157 and its denial of Jesus' death
The differences between the Quran and the New Testament
The historical evidence surrounding the crucifixion
Why Roman authorities, rather than the Jewish people collectively, carried out Jesus' execution
The theological implications of the claim that Jesus only appeared to be crucified
Why the death and resurrection of Jesus are foundational to Christianity
Al Fadi argues that the Quran's account creates serious historical and theological difficulties that Christians and Muslims should carefully examine.
The question is not simply whether Christianity and Islam disagree about Jesus.
The question is whether the Quran's account can be reconciled with the historical evidence surrounding His crucifixion.
This is only the beginning of our discussion.
Join us in the next episode as Al Fadi continues unpacking Quran 4:157, its interpretations, and what it means for the Christian understanding of Easter and the Resurrection.
