Contrast of Worldviews: Islam and Christianity - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

Of all world
religions, Christianity and Islam are two of the most prominent. Although
derived from the same origins, both faiths have diverged into manifold
differences with respect to worldview. The consequences of both Christianity’s
and Islam’s worldviews are extensive in nearly every culture of the world. Those
who do not understand the foundations of both faiths might incorrectly claim
the God of Christianity to be the same as that of Islam. Contrasting
Christianity and Islam, however, would reveal a different truth.

            Christians
should understand the Islamic worldview through a threefold lens: 1) the
Islamic doctrine of tawhid, 2) the Islamic view of sin and its remedy,
and 3) the Islamic perspective on the person and nature of Jesus Christ. These
three fundamental differences create an irreconcilable contrast between the two
faiths. Nevertheless, with such an understanding, Christians may replace false
assumptions about Islam with enlightenment and greater love for image-bearers
in the Muslim faith.
