چکیده:
This paper explores the method Allāmeh Muhammad Husayn Kāshif al-Ghiṭā, a
famous Muslim theorist of the 18-19th centuries, employed in his critique of
Christianity. Although, his method for looking into the Bible is similar to that of
Christian and Jewish scholars, his assumptions and results are different. Based on
his viewpoints on the Bible, he believes in impeccable revelations. He examined
superstructure, namely accuracy of attribution of books and pamphlets to their
authors as well as personality and credibility of Jesus Christ’s disciples and
apostles. Lack of credibility of the twelve original disciples of Jesus Christ and
unreliability of the Gospels are proved. Moreover, he has carefully examined the
content as infrastructure of the New Testament. As such, incongruities can be
observed between the New Testament and the Old Testament. There are
contradictions in the Bible itself. He prefers to apply argumentative tactic for
general readers. In addition, his application of comparative step in his critique is
considerable. This paper studies Kāshif al-Ghiṭā's approach to review the Bible in
order to figure out Muslim scholars' viewpoints on the Christianity.

Still, there are others who believe that the Gospel of Matthew had been written between sixty to seventy years after Jesus Christ was crucified (Kāshif al-Ghiṭā, 2011: Vol. 2, 94-95).
According to the stemma cited in the Bible and Torah for Jesus Christ, he is a three-timer illegitimate son (Matthew: 1, 1-16) The Gospel of Matthew is, as suggested by Kāshif al-Ghiṭā, the most creditable Gospel.
