Chapter 15

Six common questions on the Quran, and on the pre-eminence of Christ over Muhammad

1) What did the Quran mean by so many times referring to God speaking of Himself in plural terms?

2) Who is this Holy Spirit?

3) And what is this Word of God?

4) Why do the Saracens not have and do not read these books (sic. the Bible) nor do they expound them in schools?

5) What does Muhammad mean in the Quran that he says and repeats about himself so often, writing, "Believe in God and His messenger," "obey God and His messenger," "follow God and His messenger"?

6) Why don't Muslims follow Christ rather than Mohammed and the Gospel rather than the Quran?
