‘Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus’ by Nabeel Qureshi (book review)

I’m truly fascinated by the beliefs of others. One of the main focuses of this blog is to look at different religious beliefs and criticise them, always with the ambition of discovering and expounding truths about God and the world.

Latria and Dulia

I’m slowly working my way through ’The Institutes of the Christian Religion’ by John Calvin at the moment and am expanding my vocabulary in the process.

What is the Holy Spirit?

Christians believe in one God in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is a concept that can lead to confusion. For instance, while Jesus walked the earth He prayed to God the Father. But if Jesus is fully God (as in the Chalcedonian Creed), is there a sense in which He was praying to Himself?… Continue reading
