Glossary Term
Grace
Kasih kurnia ('loving favor') is a native Malay-Sanskrit compound rather than an Arabic loanword, established in Alkitab usage specifically to convey unearned favor apart from merit, distinct from rahmat, which still functions within a framework where deeds matter for final judgment.

Doctrine
Humanity of Christ
Islamic theology already affirms Jesus' full, real humanity, so this is common ground; the risk runs opposite to a denial-of-humanity context — readers may over-affirm Christ's humanity and resist the accompanying claim of full deity.
