Whatever Happened to Christianity?

“Fred Farrokh has written a very helpful book on a very important topic for Muslim-Christian interactions. Raised in a Muslim home himself, Farrokh has taken up the task of systematically addressing a traditional Islamic claim: that Christians—chiefly led by Paul—have distorted Jesus’ message and deified him despite his own adherence to Tawhid. In this book, Farrokh works through the historical, theological, textual, and traditional aspects of this claim in order to demonstrate that it is a claim in search of evidence.”


—Matthew Bennett, associate professor of missions and theology, Cedarville University





“This brief book takes up the important but under-explored issue of Tahriif, or the conviction of many Muslims that the pre-Quranic revelations to the prophets had been corrupted in the Scripture, especially regarding the messiah. This book, in an irenic and non-sectarian tone, addresses those doubts. Muslims seeking more depth in Muslim-Christian relations will find this book of particular import.”


—Duane Alexander Miller, author of Two Stories of Everything: The Competing Metanarratives of Islam and Christianity





“Have Christians ‘gone astray’? This book considers this question in a gracious and well-informed way. It offers a timely and generous invitation to Muslims everywhere to seek out the ‘straight path’ of God’s favor and to walk upon it. This is a book for all who love the truth and are determined to find it.”


—Mark Durie, director, Institute for Spiritual Awareness





“This scholarly yet readable book provides a fresh look into the claim that Christians have gone astray in their beliefs, a claim that lies at the very heart of Islam’s reason for being. Both Muslims and Christians from a Muslim background can appreciate this evenhanded treatment of this important subject by Fred Frarrokh, a former Muslim. This book is sorely needed in today’s world.”


—Steve Krstulovich, director of research, Global Initiative: Reaching Muslim Peoples





“This book by Fred Farrokh is a superb effort on his part to show that there has been no change in the gospel message from the time of Jesus to the present. It is well-documented and is a needed read for Christians and Muslims who face the Muslim charge that the gospel has been corrupted by Christians.”


—Don McCurry, founding president, Ministries to Muslims
