• 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.

• Glossary Term

  Peace

  In Romans 5:1, nabadda is relational peace between an individual and God through justification.

  ROM.5.1

  Peace with God
