What is ‘the Christmas story’ really? And how does it change when you tell it from within a different religious tradition? In Conflicted’s first-ever Christmas Special, Thomas and Aimen retell the Nativity as it appears in the Gospels and in the Qur’an.
They discuss:
- Who were the Magi? Zoroastrian priests or Nabataean nomads?
- How the Nativity story differs between the Bible and the Qur’an
- A controversial theory about how local Christian traditions may have shaped the Qur’anic telling
- The overlooked reason why Qur’an presumes its audience already knows the underlying stories
- Christ’s ‘unfinished business’ in Islam: the Second Coming and the fight against the Antichrist
- The sharpest divergence: the Crucifixion and what it implies about Jesus’ mission
