In Christian theology, as reflected in the New Testament, Jesus is revered as the Son of God and the Savior of humanity, embodying divine qualities and possessing a central role in salvation history. Conversely, Islamic teachings, as presented in the Quran, recognize Jesus as a prophet and messenger of God, emphasizing his human nature and his role within the broader context of Islamic monotheism. Further, this study explores the similarities and differences in the portrayal of Jesus' birth, miracles, mission, crucifixion, ascension and descent of Jesus Christ across these religious texts. Most scriptures of both religions acknowledge his miraculous birth and significant spiritual contributions, but they diverge in their views on his divinity, sonship, trinity crucifixion, and resurrection. The paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of these perspectives, contributing to interfaith dialogue and a deeper appreciation of the theological distinctions and commonalities regarding Jesus in Christianity and Islam</em><strong><em>.</em></strong></p> Sadia Rehman, Saleem Khan Copyright (c) 2024 Sadia Rehman and Saleem Khan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/jwrih/article/view/3130 Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000
