Islam and the Four Gospels

Muslims do not admit the authenticity of the Gospels, or the creed contained therein, or the leading events life of Jesus, as depicted by these same Gospels. In this attitude Muslims are supported by the scholarly researched of devout Christians even. It seems, however, that the laity in Christendom is generally as ignorant, with regard to these vital questions, as non-Christians, to whom Christian literature is inaccessible in the main. A brief account of these questions is, therefore, likely to be of interest and use. According to the doctrines of Islam, it was not the Holy Ghost that moved the writers of the said Gospels to write them. But it was the example of other writers that inspired them with the desire of compiling brief biographies of Jesus.
