The Bible and The Quran: Comparing Their Historical Problems

In this groundbreaking course, explore the historical challenges inherent in two of the world's most influential religious texts—the Bible and the Quran. Led by Dr. Ehrman and Dr. Hashmi, dive into the origins of Islam and the historical quandaries posed by the Quran alongside those found in the Christian Bible. 

Through rigorous academic inquiry, uncover insights into original texts, authorship, and transmission reliability. Explore the historical analysis of Jesus and Muhammad, navigating the intersections and disparities between scholarly perspectives and religious interpretations. 

Additionally, confront sensitive issues surrounding scripture's potential role in fostering violence and intolerance while examining the viability of applying historical and critical lenses to religious study

Provocative Inquiries Explored in this Course:


  • Does the Quran actually go back to Muhammad, and has it really been “perfectly preserved”?

  • How do historians separate fact from fiction in the Gospels enshrined in the New Testament?
  • Are Quranic stories historical and scientific or do they contain elements of myth and legend? Did the historical Muhammad really exist?
  • To what extent are acts of intolerance, hatred, and violence rooted in the Bible, and is the Bible itself to be blamed, in whole or in part, for perpetuating such behaviors?
  • Is there something unique or inherent to Islam – its scripture, its founding moment, and its historical experience – that predisposes it to hatred, intolerance, and violence?
