• Doctrine

  Humanity of Christ

  Islamic theology already affirms Jesus' full, real humanity (born of Mary, a genuine human prophet), so this is a point of common ground; the risk is the opposite direction from Hindu contexts -- readers may over-affirm Christ's humanity and resist the accompanying claim of full deity.
