Understanding
Scripture - A Comparative Analysis Between Christianity and Islam
Dr. Brian Arthur
Brown delivered a presentation on the Muslim and Christian
understandings of the nature of Scripture on April 5, 2008. While explaining the Muslim
perspective on both sets of scripture and the shades of understanding
within the Christian community, Dr. Brown's presentation on the
differing and at the same time complimentary views of scripture was
illuminating to all in attendance.
