Re: The bible in Islam
Bob Chasm you need to read more about bible and its history.
Ravage, the same question has confused me a lot. Obviously, Quran says that Injeel was given to Jesus, and no book written or dictated by Jesus exists nor it has ever been claimed that any such book ever existed.
The closest answer i have got from Islamic scholars is that Injeel teh book described in Quran are the words spoken by Jesus that are described in new testament and most which have been lost, and rest is all story telling.
The whole issue gets even more complicated when certain statements of companions of Prophet are described, soem of which say that Injeel was altered while others say that the alterations are in understanding.
