Where Did the Bible and the Qur'an Come From? Are They Corrupted?

In this episode, I take a closer look at one of the most common accusations Muslims make against Christians: the claim that the Bible has been corrupted. I discuss the origins and preservation of both the Bible and the Quran. I compare the historical and textual evidence for each, highlighting the meticulous transmission of the Bible and the complexities surrounding the early manuscripts of the Quran. My goal isn’t to attack anyone’s faith, but to foster honest and evidence-based conversations about what we believe. Whether you’re Christian or Muslim, I hope this episode inspires you to think critically, seek truth, and feel confident in exploring your faith.
