Why the Foundations of Islam Are Now Crumbling with Dr. Jay Smith

Did the prophet Muhammad actually exist? How did the Qur’an come into existence? And did Islam really begin in Mecca? If you think you know a lot about the historic origins of Islam--think again!

Frank welcomes Dr. Jay Smith to the program, a legendary defender of the faith and top Christian apologist to Muslims who spent over two decades at the legendary Speaker’s Corner in London. Dr. Smith shares personal experiences from his years evangelizing Muslims, challenging Islamic claims, and navigating the theological and historical issues at the core of Islam. During this eye-opening conversation, Frank and Dr. Smith tackle questions like:

• What was it like to evangelize at Speaker's Corner in London for 25 years and why is it a magnet for Muslims?
• How did the events of 9/11/2001 change the dynamic between the world's two largest competing religious worldviews--Christianity and Islam?
• Why is using the Qur’an helpful when sharing the Gospel with Muslims?
• What is the “three-legged stool” that supports Islam and how does it compare to Christianity?
• If Mecca is so old, why is there no evidence historically?
• What are the four genres of S.I.N. (the Standard Islamic Narrative) and why are they being thrown under the bus by some Muslim scholars?
• Why are there currently 30 official versions of the Qur’an even though it claims to be eternal and unchanged by human hands?
• Why are the Qur’an's earliest manuscripts shockingly incomplete and why was the biography of Muhammad compiled by a German scholar?
