The two most authoritative collections in the Hadith are known as Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. “Sahih” just means authoritative, and “Bukhari” and “Muslim” are the names of the two collectors who wrote down what they heard. Both collections were made long after Muhammad’s lifetime and therefore rely on oral traditions. Other collections also exist in the Hadith, but Bukhari and Muslim are the most prestigious and widely accepted.

  31. Note that in the first century after Jesus’ death some members of the Jewish community obviously accepted the teaching of the Incarnation, and many of the New Testament writers insisted that Jewish scriptures predicted it. Over time, however, those who remained Jewish necessarily rejected the Christian teachings about Jesus and the two religious communities began to diverge more obviously.

  36. This argument does not necessarily mean that Judaism lacks any universal element at all. Obviously, Jewish Scriptures are full of the idea that Jews are supposed to be a blessing to the entire world (Cf. Genesis 12:2-3, 18:18, and 22:18). Nevertheless, the blessings the Jews are supposed to provide are also attached to an exclusivist idea which holds that the Jewish people are set apart from the rest of humanity by God.

  44. Again, there are exceptions here. Most mainline Protestant denominations have moderated their positions, but evangelical Christianity for the most part has not. The Catholic and Orthodox churches have not officially changed much, either, although one could argue that many believers in these two branches of the faith have done so.

  66. This practice became widespread during the Middle Ages, but it was appreciated by Christians as far back as the first and second centuries AD. Origen, for example, wrote about taking pagan Greek learning for Christian use in the same way that the Hebrews plundered the Egyptians before beginning their exodus. Note that not all Church Fathers agreed with this practice. For example, Tertullian (died ca. 220) famously asked, “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” There were always believers who were skeptical of the use of “pagan learning.”

  68. Before the Vulgate was available, both the early Christian Church and the Judaic community used the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old Testament which was made around 200 BC.
