Quran Theological Errors Dr. Maxwell Shimba's Quran Theological Errors is a thought-provoking analysis of the theological divergences between Christianity and Islam. The book aims to highlight critical discrepancies in Islamic theology as presented in the Quran, focusing on its contradictions with biblical teachings. Shimba's work is a scholarly effort to encourage a deeper understanding of the two faiths, particularly for those exploring the relationship between the Bible and the Quran. By examining key theological themes such as the nature of God, the identity of Jesus Christ, the role of angels, and the concept of salvation, Shimba aims to provide a Christian perspective on Islamic doctrine. A central theme of the book is the question of whether the God of Islam (Allah) is the same as the God of Christianity (Jehovah). Shimba argues that despite superficial similarities, the Quran presents a fundamentally different view of God. Christianity's doctrine of the Trinity, which describes God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is irreconcilable with Islam's strict monotheism, or Tawhid. Islam's rejection of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ, Shimba asserts, represents a theological gulf that cannot be bridged. This difference, he argues, has profound implications for interfaith dialogue and the understanding of God's nature. Another major topic explored in the book is the Quran's portrayal of Jesus Christ (Isa). While Islam regards Jesus as a revered prophet, it denies his divinity, crucifixion, and resurrection-central tenets of Christian faith. Shimba meticulously contrasts the Quranic narrative with biblical accounts to argue that the Quran's depiction of Jesus undermines the biblical revelation of him as the Savior and Son of God. This divergence, he contends, not only misrepresents Jesus' identity but also distorts God's redemptive plan for humanity. Shimba also examines the role and identity of angels in Islam and Christianity, focusing particularly on the figures of Gabriel (Jibril in Islam). The book argues that the angel Jibril, as presented in the Quran, differs significantly from Gabriel of the Bible. Shimba highlights theological inconsistencies in the Quran's narrative, such as attributing divine roles to Jibril that contradict the biblical depiction of angels as ministering spirits. This exploration serves to underline what Shimba views as fundamental errors in Islamic angelology. Salvation is another area where Shimba identifies theological discrepancies. While Christianity teaches salvation through grace and faith in Jesus Christ, the Quran emphasizes submission to Allah and adherence to Islamic practices as the path to paradise. Shimba critiques this works-based approach, contrasting it with the Christian doctrine of salvation as a gift of grace. He argues that this difference reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of God's mercy and the nature of human redemption in Islamic theology. In addition to these doctrinal issues, Shimba delves into the historical and cultural origins of Islamic beliefs. He explores the pre-Islamic Arabian context, arguing that many elements of Islamic theology, including the concept of Allah, have roots in pagan traditions. This historical perspective, he contends, challenges the Quran's claim to be a continuation of the biblical revelation. By tracing the development of Islamic theology, Shimba seeks to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of its distinctiveness from Christianity.
