Searching Questions about the Hadith from a Christian Perspective. The Hadith are Islam"™s most influential texts after the Qur"™an. They outline in detail what the Qur"™an often leaves unsaid. The Hadith are a foundation for Islamic law and theology and a key to understanding the worldview of Islam and why many Muslims do the things they do. This book subjects the Hadith to a critical analysis from a biblical perspective. In a scholarly and respectful way, it exposes significant inconsistencies within these ancient documents and highlights potential problems with the Muslim-Christian interface.
