Did God Appear in the Flesh?
by Iskander Jadeed
Is it possible that God would incarnate and dwell in a human body? The author of this book explains how Jesus was born from Virgin Mary (was made in the likeness of men), lived here on earth (being found in fashion as a man). He got hungry, thirsty, tired of travelling and even slept on a ship. He was humiliated by human beings although in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. So Jesus was limited in his human nature, yet filled heaven and earth in his divine nature, united with the Father and the Holy Spirit. This is the mystery of his unique character ("No one knows the Son except the Father" - Matthew 11:27)... and this is a great mystery: "Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body" - 1 Timothy 3:16.

The Cross in the Gospel and the Qur'an
by Iskander Jadeed

This booklet is a valuable study about the cross in the Gospel and Quran; does the Quran deny it totally while the Gospel confirms it?

Christianity teaches that Christ was crucified to pay the penalty of the humans’ sins, and that God reconciled the sinful human with himself by saving them with the blood of Christ.

Islam, on the other hand, teaches that Isa the son of Miriam was not crucified and that someone took his place while God raised Isa to Him.

The Crucifixion of Christ: A Fact, not Fiction
by John Gilchrist
Was Jesus really crucified? This is a very important question, because Christianity is founded on the crucifixion of Christ and his resurrection. The Bible, which is considered the source of the Christian faith, assures the fact that Jesus died on the cross. It also shows that Jesus never planned any revolution against the government, or even made any attempt to defend himself when he was arrested, as some may assume to raise doubts about the Christian faith.

Was Christ really Crucified?
by Faris Al-Qayrawani

The crucifixion of Christ is a controversial issue between Christians and Muslims. While Christians consider the cross the main doctrine in their faith, Muslims totally deny that Christ was crucified or even that he died in a natural way. Yet Christians insist that Christ died on the cross to cleanse all humans from their sins.

Muslims use verses from the Qur’an to deny the doctrine of salvation and the need of a savior. On the other hand, Christians believe that there is no salvation without the shedding of blood which took its final form on the cross.

This book reviews the main concepts of the Christian faith, such as the divine incarnation in Christ, his crucifixion that gave salvation to many and took away the sin of the world, and his glorious resurrection that gives the sinner the way out of hell and the chance to have eternal life.
