This video invites Muslims to clarify the Quran's challenge to produce something like it.

Does the Gospel of Barnabas provide an authentic account of the life of Jesus Christ as many Muslims claim? This video looks at what specialists have determined regarding the history of the alleged gospel and its use in polemics. Transcript of this video here: https://rb.gy/oezix8.

One frequent explanation I hear regarding the problem of the Quran's claims about the Torah and Gospel is that the Torah and Gospel the Quran refers to are a different Torah and Gospel, which appeared at some point in the past, and then disappeared, without a trace. But is this how the Muslim sources describe the Torah and Gospel, or is this another evolutionary stage in the Muslim polemic of biblical corruption?

The Quran clearly respects the Torah and Gospel and believes they are preserved and relevant. Most Muslims disagree. This video is adapted, in part, from Gordon Nickel, "The Gentle Answer to the Muslim Accusation of Biblical Falsification" (Calgary: Bruton Gate, 2016), ch. 2.

In this video, I present James Bejon's paper on Jesus's genealogies. See his paper, and many others, here: https://tyndalehouse.academia.edu/JamesBejon.

In this video, we look at a curious detail included in the story of Jesus calming the storm. Thank you to my Patreon supporters! https://www.patreon.com/islamcritiqued Note: the thumbnail is the painting "Peace be still" by Yongsung Kim.

What a glorious year it has been, for some.

This video draws from David J. Halperin's magisterial work, "The Faces of the Chariot" to explain the background of some puzzling verses in the Quran's version of the golden calf episode.

In this video, we examine a couple of excuses Muslims make about 50-something year old Muhammad having sex with 9 year old Aisha- namely, Aisha narrated hadith and did not object to what Muhammad did to her.

Using Muslim logic, it's difficult to think of a book that hasn't been perfectly preserved. It's all in how you manipulate and ignore the facts.

In this video we examine the most plausible explanation for why the angels were commanded to prostrate before Adam in pre-Quranic sources. These sources undoubtedly influenced the Quran's account of the fall.

This video looks briefly at methods Muslims use in attempt to discredit hadith that make Muhammad appear ignorant, untrustworthy, or immoral, before showing that if the same methodology was applied to the canonical reciters, consistency would require Muslims calling them into question in the same way.

It has long been known by everyone capable of reading biblical Hebrew that the Hebrew word "almah" can mean "virgin." Christophe Rico far exceeds this fact in his conclusions reached from his thorough semantic study.

In this video we look at some defunct arguments about Muhammad in the Bible- and then see that the modern arguments are just as flawed in much the same ways.

This video examines the popular Muslim claim that a child bride was taken for Isaac in Genesis 24.

In this video we examine some striking parallels between the Quran and a second century source commonly called the Proto-Gospel of James.

This is a brief introduction to the origin of the Muslim polemic that 90 year old Joseph married 12 year old Mary, and why it's another example of a terrible argument.
