Two New Logos Resources for Studying Islam

Posted on by

Today the kind folks at Logos Bible Software have released their second set of books related to Islam in their Community Pricing section. The Works of Samuel M. Zwemer is an18 volume set which contains the writings of Zwemer, a 40 year missionary in the Middle East. Click the image below to view the specific details:

The Works of Samuel ZwemerLast Monday (1/2/12) they released the Islamic Studies Collection (34 vols.), their first (to my knowledge) of its kind to be available on Logos.

Islamic Studies CollectionAt the present moment, each set is bidding at $30, so if this trend continues, you can get all 52 volumes for $60. Not a bad deal. The only drawback to these offers is that the books in the community pricing section are a bit dated. The copyright has usually expired and the bulk of the cost is then dedicated to scanning books, transcribing, editing, tagging, etc… (and, of course, keeping Logos in business!)

Details:

The Koran claims that Jesus did not die on the cross.

Mohammed Bahmanpour of the Islamic College in London defends the Koranic view that although “it was made to appear to them” that he died, in fact he was substituted by another.

Jay Smith is a Christian evangelist to Muslims in London and brings to bear Biblical and other historical witnesses to the crucifixion.  They debate the issue and whether the Koran or the New Testament is to be trusted as a revelation of God.

Includes listener interactions with the guests.

Format:

Mohammed:
- in Surah 4 (Quran), it says that Jesus didn’t die on a cross
- it only appeared to onlookers as though Jesus died on the cross
- muslims believe that the crucifixion really happened
- but Jesus wasn’t the one who died, it was actually Judas
- most Muslims think that Judas betrayed Jesus
- some Shiites believe that Judas died voluntarily in Jesus’ place
- the gospel of Judas seems to make Judas out to be a hero

Jay:
- the 4 gospels agree that Jesus died on a cross
- John is an eyewitness and it’s in his gospel
- Paul’s writings also echo the gospels (Romans and epistles)
- the gospel of Judas is a fourth century document
- it reflects gnostic theology, which denies that Jesus had a body
- even Surah 19 says that Jesus actually did die and rise after
- so Surah 4 and Surah 19 are internally contradictory
