6.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Activity: It is interesting that the Bible has always been very carefully scrutinized over the centuries for
its internal consistency, historical and archeological accuracy, and scientific consistency. The higher
criticism of the Bible in which we evaluate that accuracy of any Biblical manuscript is a carefully
designed science. We can look at the thousands of manuscripts to determine when a modification of
change has occurred historically and make corrections that most accurately represent the original texts.

However, when it comes to the Qur’an, higher and lower criticism are NOT permitted. They will not allow
manuscripts to be compared and cannot justify all the contradictions and inaccuracies in the Qur’an. For a good
look at some of the textual, historical, archeological, and mathematical errors in the Qur’an, please fast forward to
Appendix E.
