Exercise 2.1: Finding the Questions


1.


In the space below, write the title of your tentative topic (e.g. Internet addiction)
authenticity of the Bible and the Qur'an


2.

Briefly state why you chose this topic.
I live based on my faith and what God ordered me to do. as a muslim I take that from the holy Qur'an. Christians take GOD's word from the Bible. both of us, believe that these books are perfect and holy and they have the perfect truth in them .... I'm trying to find which one has the perfect truth because its going to be either in the Qur'an or the Bible.

3.


Spend about five minutes listing what you already know (if anything) about your topic. For example, are
you aware of any interesting facts, common misconceptions, your own assumptions, important people
or institutions involved, key schools of thought, the extent of the problem, current trends, etc.?
*I have done a light research on the same topic.
* I have several conversation wit hpeople about this topic.
*most christians thinks that Mohammed equals Jessus in Islamic faith.
* I'm sure that its impossible that both of them is right, one of them has to have it "truth"
* the diffintion of some main factors in both religions are different.


4.


Now spend at least fifteen minutes brainstorming a list of questions about your topic you’d love to
learn the answers to. Make this list as long as you can, and don’t worry whether every question is a
good one.

* who wrote the Bible ? and how accurate that writer was ?
* being holy, means being perfect, no contradictions no mistakes, is that true in the Bible and the Qur'an?
* what did the people who talked about that issue said ?
* finding a mistake or a contradiction in facts in one of these books, how much does it effect the accuracy of somebody's faith in both religions....?
the old and the new testiment, is that suppose to be a factor that would support the point that the Bible is accurate or is it doing the opposite?

...... other questions goes under these main lines..

5.


If you’re working in a computer lab (or generating hard copies of the exercise), your instructor may ask
you to comment on other students’ responses to Steps 1-4. Focus particularly on what your
classmates did in the fourth step. For each you view, do two things: add a question you would like
answered about the student’s topic, and mark the question you find most intriguing.
