However, Zebiri argues the eighteen works' outlooks on the Bible: text and interpretation, the Jesus of the Gospels and the Jesus of the Qur'an, how and why Christian doctrine became corrupted, Christianity and Western civilization, and contemporary Christianity.
According to Zebiri, the general issues and ideas addressed by missionary literature are the same, emphasizing the consensus among writers in regards to what issues are important, although great divergence in syle are apparent Zebiri determines that missionary literature on Islam addresses several basic topics: the Qur'an, Muhammad, and the relationship between God and man.
The third issue addressed repeatedly in missionary literature concerns the nature of the relationship between man and God. The literature projects the idea that the Muslim relationship with God is often lacking and impersonal due to essential differences between the nature of man and the nature of God. In Christianity, because of Jesus's intermediary role, God and his love is more attainable and allows for a closer relationship between man and God. This argument is presented in a method which gives the reader a feeling of favoritism by the author toward the missionary perspective-a contrasting perspective is not presented like in the two previous arguments.
Throughout the chapter, especiaJly when dealing with al-Faruqui, the author is of the opinion that Muslim scholars' arguments against Christianity are questionable, even from an Islamic point of view.
After presenting the works and ideas of Muslim scholars on Christianity, Zebiri disregards a11 their views as flawed.
Zebiri also states that different criteria are used by the Muslim scholars on studying the two religions, thus resulting in a biased interpretation.
