Dr. Ali Ataie speaks about Jesus Christ as a central figure in the New Testament of the Bible, but he is also valued in Islam, and holds importance in the Qur'an.

Dr. Ataie speaks about core theological issues found in the Gospel of John that clash with Qur’anic teachings about the person of Prophet Jesus (‘alayhi al-salam).

Jesus (peace be upon him) is acknowledged in both Christianity and Islam and is inseparable from the core beliefs of each religion. Yet despite so many similarities and common grounds, there are several differences about Jesus that are distinct to both Islam and Christianity.
