‘Heaven and Hell’ by Bart Ehrman (book review)

Bart Ehrman is known mainly for his work as a New Testament textual critic. His career has involved exploring the origins of the New Testament and trying to decipher how reliable the Christian Scriptures are in their presentation of who Jesus is and what Jesus did and said.

Discovering the Qur’an

Muslims believe the Qur’an is a perfect revelation from God, and the Qur’an describes itself as an unassailable Scripture which falsehood cannot touch from any angle (Surah 41:41-42).
