#16: Does the Qur’an Deny the Crucifixion of Jesus (PBUH)? | With Dr. Louay Fatoohi.

Does the Qur’an Deny the Crucifixion of Jesus (pbuh)? | With Prof. Louay Fatoohi

In this lecture-style discussion, Professor Louay Fatoohi and I explore a deeply debated topic in interfaith scholarship: Does the Qur’an deny the crucifixion of Jesus (peace be upon him)? We examine the Qur’anic verses traditionally understood as denying the crucifixion, how classical Muslim scholars interpreted them, and why some modern thinkers see these verses as ambiguous. Whether you’re Muslim, Christian, or a student of religion, this discussion aims to bring clarity, respect, and insight.

These are the two papers by Dr. Louay Fatoohi that are available for free.
