Comparing religionsComparing Christianity and Islam:
the world's two largest religions

Sponsored link.

Overview:Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam are three closely related religions.
Because they all revere Abraham and certain other patriarchs mentioned in
the Hebrew Scriptures (the Torah), Christian Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) and Qur'an as their spiritual ancestors, they are sometimes called Abrahamic
religions. The Baha'i Faith is sometimes also included in this
grouping. Christians generally view it as a new, small, world religion, as do Baha'is. Many Muslims view it as an Islamic heresy. This section of the website contains essays that give a very brief description of similarities and differences between Christianity and Islam. However it is important to realize that there are many different traditions within Islam and many thousands of different traditions within Christianity. Thus, one can precisely compare and contrast only one Christian tradition with one Islamic tradition. To do that thoroughly would require tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of essays -- a task well beyond the resources of this web site.
