This man mistook the Esu deity for the devil in the bible
Most of his works turned out to be controversial and not reliable
His only reliable work is the translation of the bible to Igbo language, he got that one right
@bolded - That was Bishop Ajayi Crowther, not this dude.

Like sriouly? Oga go and get your facts right.

The first comprehensive written compilation of the Quran into a single master manuscript was commissioned by the first Caliph, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, around 632–634 CE, and carried out by the chief scribe Zayd ibn Thabit.Background and ContextThe Trigger: Following the Battle of Yamama in 11 AH (632 CE), a significant number of the Huffaz (companions who had memorized the entire Quran) were martyred.The Initiative: Fearing that parts of the oral recitation might be lost with the passing of the memorizers, Umar ibn al-Khattab advised Abu Bakr to compile the scattered texts into one unified volume.

You may be right. There are many good things you can do to non christians as a Christian but not like this one but on the second thought he might have done it to help those ignorant Muslims at that time to understand what is written in the book, know the fact and took an informed decision.

Let me add a little historical knowledge to what you posted that a lot of Muslims don't know. Even though I have no issues with them and choose to respect their faith.

The Vatican does keep Islamic books and rare manuscripts, including around 144 rare copies of the Qur'an, within the Vatican Apostolic Library.

In addition, the works of major Islamic philosophers were translated, studied, and preserved in medieval Christian Europe, largely through the efforts of Catholic scholars, universities, and monastic networks. Key figures whose ideas crossed over include Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Averroes (Ibn Rushd), and Al-Ghazali.

Let me stop here 😂

Shalom

The first professor of Arabic in Nigeria is a christian.

The first man that interpreted Quran to Yoruba is also Bishop.


Nigeria Muslims will be chasing crises and infighting, and relegated their own religion at backdoor.


Their problem is Jesus Christ and Niqab, but how their own souls will be saved afterlife is less important.

A non-Muslim can never be trusted with translating a holy book that he did not believe in. What was his motivation?
