Dear all
I note there have been several prosletysing-type threads recently about the Qu'ran
In the interests of balance, I wanted to share the following book review with you:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/b...nd-review.html
One key thing to note is the theory that Islam as a religion was not established as such until more than 200 years AFTER the Prophet's divine revelations in the cave. This would then raise questions as to the authenticity of the Scriptures and the extent to which they have been influenced by ordinary humans
To me that makes sense as there are some questionable passages which are more likely to have been written by selfish ordinary humans as opposed to being divinely transcribed
I also wanted to raise this thread to encourage some genuine theological discussion instead of the irrelevant (in my opinion) threads we have been subjected to recently
Defenders of the faith welcome to respond but if you choose to dislike my post, please remember to state why in either factual terms or theological terms so I will be able to respond
Thanks for reading
