What did Jesus Really Say?

Please note: this book has been out of print since 2010. We do not know whether or when it may be reprinted, and stock is limited to what remains.

The book contains detailed information and descriptions showing how the Bible was changed and tampered with over the past two millennia. The account and the discussions presented are based on, and collected from, the writings of Christian authors, the Church and the Bible.

What It Sets Out

• The historical transmission of the biblical text and where the manuscript record diverges
• Passages that later scholarship has identified as additions
• What the earliest sources say about Jesus عليه السلام compared with later doctrine

Why the Sourcing Is the Point

Because the argument is made entirely from within the Christian tradition. Every claim is drawn from Christian scholars, Church documents and the Bible itself rather than from Muslim sources.

That is a deliberate method, and it is what makes the book difficult to dismiss. A Christian reader can check every citation against his own tradition's scholarship.

A Word on Tone

This is a polemical work, and it reads as one. It is not the book to hand to a Christian friend as a first introduction — Why Muslims Love Jesus does that job far better, by beginning from what the two faiths share.

This one is for a reader who has already asked the harder questions and wants them addressed at length.
