Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
by Nabeel Qureshi
Qureshi was raised in a devout Ahmadi Muslim home and taught to defend it — he argued with Christians and he won, which was rather the point of the training. Then one of them did not fold, and the argument outlasted the stage where arguments usually stop: the evidence for the resurrection, the claims Jesus made for himself, put through the same tests he had been taught to apply to the Quran. He applied them honestly. What it would cost at home he weighed longest, and in the end he counted it out loud.
