Paper Summary:

This paper relates the historical and religious biographies of Jesus and Mohammad. The author explains the influences of Jesus on Christianity and of Mohammad on Islam. The author states that, in contrast, Jesus' words were of peace and the restoration of life; whereas, Mohammad's voice was filled with violence. However, the messages that both Jesus and Mohammad preached were of a relationship and obedience towards God.

From the Paper:

"Restoring life helped Jesus to spread the message of peace. Instead of conquering with violence, Jesus Christ conquered enemies with the Spirit of the Word of God. Because of this Jesus Christ's disciples were killed. There were over three hundred scriptures written before Jesus Christ's first coming. Even though Jesus never wrote any books, many of his messages were written. Jesus had his entire followers write and preach his messages. Because of this, there are many different denominations of the Christian faith."
