The choice: Islam and Christianity

by Ahmed Deedat

A collection of Shaykh Ahmad Deedats (RA) most popular series of booklets on Islam and Christianity. Ahmed Deedat , Debator Extraordinaire and founder of the Islamic Propogation Centre in South Africa, this book of Ahmed Deedat's is a collection of his most popular series of booklets on Islam and Christianity. While produced in an excellent low-key reference quality binding on the outside, the insides however retain the customary Deedat attention-grabbing look with bolds and capitals abounding on each page for emphasis. A truly unique book set from an equally one-of-a-kind persona. This book examines Jesus as a prophet teaching the Unity of God, and the historical collapse of Christianity as it abandoned his teaching. The author sketches the dramatic picture of the original followers of Jesus who affirmed Unity. What emerges is that "Christianity" is the fiction that replaced their truth. A work that covers the Gospel of Barnabas, the Gospel of Hermes, the Shephard, early and later Unitarian Christians, Jesus in the Gospels and in the Qur'an and Hadith. The author clearly shows the idea of Jesus as part of a Trinity was a Greek Pagan idea adopted by early Christian mission-aries to gain converts among the Greek, and did not become a widely accepted Christian doctrine until after the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D.

Im so much surprised of the knowledge and wise deedat talks hold. we all muslims need to read his books and watch his debates. It teach you how to respect other religions and idiologies. But firstly it teach you how to rectify islam. I need to reread it again.

“What is wrong with our Christian brethren?”

I was blown away with the amount of work put in to produce this and was clinging on to every word Ahmed Deedat had to say. A remarkable effort and I was not expecting something of such high quality production.

This book was more of a revelation for me. Loved it from start to finish. No academic jargon, no beating around the bush, just plain logical arguments.

[Aliya · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this book. It was very straightforward, with Deedat introducing himself and his background, especially his passion for debates. His book is based on his studies and his experiences - and he's lived a long life so he has a lot to say.

Ahmed Deedat is very assertive and very in your face, which, I suppose, is a perfect quality in a debater. He has done all his research and is very passionate about teaching others what he's learned. However, you'd have to have an open mind to be willing to be challenged, whether or not you agree with his statements, because he is going to challenge you.
