Core Muslim Objections To Christianity
- Muslims primarily object to the Trinity as leading to polytheism and to Jesus being God.
- William Albrecht says these two objections form the intellectual heart of Muslim critiques of Christianity.
Prepare By Reading Muslim Sources
- Read the Quran and Hadiths to avoid caricaturing Islam and to have fruitful dialogue.
- Use shared beliefs like love for Jesus and Mary as bridges while holding to Catholic convictions.
Use Marian Devotion As A Bridge
- Use Mary as a pastoral bridge to Muslims who revere her, while correcting errors charitably.
- Emphasize common ground first, then evangelize toward the fullness of Catholic teaching.
