Books by John Gilchrist

All the material here is put up with the permission of the author, John Gilchrist. Just as Ahmed Deedat, Mr. Gilchrist lives in South Africa. The "Qur'an and the Bible Series" consist mainly of rebuttals of booklets by Deedat. The "Christianity and Islam Series" presents other important topics.

Translation into other languages: Even though we are often asked for it, only very few of John Gilchrist's books and booklets have so far been translated into other languages. All translations we are aware of are listed here: Albanian (*), Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, Malaysian, Russian. If you have information on further translations, whether completed, currently in progress, or even only in consideration for future translation, please let us know, so that duplication of work can be avoided.
