Shared ground, real differences
Christianity and Islam share monotheism, honor for Jesus and his virgin birth, and a coming judgment — but differ profoundly on who God is, who Jesus is, and how a person is made right with God. This chart compares the two fairly, drawing on the Qur’an and Bible.
The three decisive differences (free preview)
- The Trinity & the deity of Christ — affirmed in Christianity, denied in the Qur’an (4:171)
- The crucifixion — central to Christianity, denied in Qur’an 4:157
- Grace vs. deeds — atonement vs. a weighing of deeds
