Muslims and Christians both love Jesus. This is because Islam and Christianity agree on many of the extraordinary claims about his earthly and heavenly life. Beyond these agreements, however, the Jesus of Islam points down a different road to that of Christianity.
The Muslim Jesus wants to you to be a better person by walking a road of passionate devotion to God; the Christian Jesus wants you to be a whole new person by joining him on a road to crucifixion and resurrection.
Richard Shumack calls for Muslims and Christians to embrace constructive disagreement about Jesus as the best way to both religious peace and eternal truth.
