<transcy>The divinity of Christ in the face of Islam (La divinité du Christ face à l'islam)</transcy>

"Jesus is not God! He is only a prophet, the servant of Allah. You are idolaters because you have deified a man made of flesh and blood! "

Islam calls into question the faith Christians have held to be true for two millennia about Jesus and his divinity. Faced with these questions and these current affirmations, Christians are called to always be ready to defend themselves with gentleness and respect with all those who ask them for the reason of the hope that is in them.

This is the aim of this book which finally gives French-speaking readers a set of precise and accessible answers about the divinity of Jesus in dialogue with the Islamic argument.

An essential resource for informing dialogue between Christians and Muslims.

Recommendations

Rémi Gomez dares! He dares to tackle the thickest, most hardened, as if fossilized, misunderstanding of the dialogue between Christians and Muslims, that of the divinity of Jesus Christ - which Muslims call Isa and say "messiah" in a weakened sense. Rémi Gomez's daring stems from his experience: an atheist at the outset, he was seized, defeated and freed, by the word of God; for years he has had extensive exchanges with believers and scholars of the Islamic faith. He himself shows himself to be a good connoisseur of the Koran and its tradition, as well as of the Bible, which he quotes with great competence. It combines the courtesy of a respectful friend with the straightforward righteousness that also expresses friendship. His example, which avoids any compromise, should finally advance mutual understanding: read it and follow it!

A former rugby player, Rémi knows how to fight and how to avoid traps. With a spiritual field experience, Rémi, a former atheist flirting with Islam, was not afraid to "mingle" with the Muslim community from which he learns a lot! His love of truth and compassion for Muslims prompts him to expose the paradoxes and conjectures of Islam. He opts for an offensive style, dismantling the opponent's attacks point by point. Rémi delivers a fight to the point where the light of truth triumphs. Béni-oui-oui abstain, this book is a real theological event.
