I see blogging theology I click.
I see Prof. Ali Ataie I click.

Both together! Always a treat. Thanks Paul and thank you Professor!

[SurgeonSuhailAnwar]

This man is a modern day genius, a powerhouse of scriptural hermeneutics, a lexicon of antiquated languages with a brain and memory the size of a large planet. May Allah bless him for his services to the quest of truth. We love you Dr Ataie and thank you Paul for inviting him again and again.

[ny-nejq]

One excellent Muslim scholar like Dr. Ali, knowing Greek, Aramiac and Hebrew can do so much good.Imagine if he graduates 100 students following his path...

[MuhammedFI]

Yay Dr. Ali Ataie is back! One of my favorite speaker and guests. His insights are just remarkable.

[aishachristiholyhumanist]

Dr Ali Ataie is one of the greatest in this era. I watched a number of his lectures and he breaks down all sides of opinions really well. Great interview Paul. Thank You.

[sacredrider]

I can listen to these lectures for hours and not get tired, and the sheer amount of information is something. Thank you Mr. Paul. Thank you Dr. Ali.

[jd.]

I’ve been rewatching your discussions with Professor Ali Ataie religiously for the last few months, and eagerly waiting for the next one!

[imgood]

Sometimes I'm ashamed of myself for getting this level of content for free. Brother Paul, I just love you . ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[Green-ldgi]

So excited for this viseo. Paul by far out of all your interviews the videos featuring Dr. Ali Ataie are hands down the most fascinating....ask him to appear monthly !!!

[mqandil]

Thanks Paul. I waited for 4 days to comment because I had to watch this video over & over and for so many times to comprehend all the great materials and information it contains. It was really hard to stop repeatedly watching this video and this time I got my wife to do the same. We are now both addicted to Paul and Dr Ataie.
Well done, and May Allah bless and reward both of you for educating both Muslims and Christians. Please keep brining Dr Ataie back, as we can never get enough of him or ever bore from watching him. Mark

[shakattack]

[lightofknowledge]

Jazakallah dear Paul. I have been waiting for months to listen Dr. Ali Atae in your podcast. May Allah bless you immensely Paul.

We discovered this gem through a gem i.e you.

This program is one of the best program of Blogging Theology.
Thanks to Mr. Williams and Mr. Ataie for their contributions to a topic which is so important in human life.
Dr. Ataie is simply brilliant. He provided good words. He was able to bring out the correct interpretation of “ The Son of Man” by providing sufficient evidence, by unveiling the witnesses including the calendar.
“ A good word is as a good tree - it’s roots are firm, and it’s branches are in heaven;
The Qur’an- Abraham ( 14 ) : 30.

Decisive human sport is visible in theology that involves mankind .
Allah says in The Qur’an : “ and in this , that the messenger might be a witness against you, and that they might be witnesses against mankind .” The Qur’an - 22:76.

[ckotty]

Wow, like many, I had to rewind several times to barely grasp some points made by Dr. Ataie. What a delightful talk. It's going to take weeks for me to dissect and digest all that was said. So grateful again to both of you for bringing this knowledge to our homes. Surely you both have our love and respect. May Allah bless you both. 👍🏽😘

[futurecrunk]

I have now listened to this three times. I imagine I will probably listen to it several more. The information presented here is remarkable. the connections to Enoch literature as well as the recognition of neoplatonism as a major influence to both Judaism and Christianity's developments. As someone who journeyed from Evangelical Christianity into rabbinic Judaism for several years, this info is absolutely priceless. Alhamdulillah for the deen of Islam.

[starbooktapestry]

Became emotional at certain parts of this amazing lecture! I definitely hope to hear Dr. Ataie discuss soon on Daniel 9 at some future date. Subhanallah

[yusufmoalim]

Thank U so much Brother Paul to invite such a distinguished Islamic and biblical scholar, professor Ali Ataie
I believe such a program will benefit for both Muslims and non-muslims.

[Solemn_G]

Dr Ali Ataie is always a pleasure to listen to. Very thorough overview.

[adamibrahimmuhammad]

An important point that has bothered me for sometime now, the claim by the Quran, of uzair being son of God by the Jews not only expaciated to my satisfaction but cleared my mind from all the responds by the people of the book. What an epic lecture by Dr Ali.
Well there you are again another masterpiece production by our able brother Paul. May Allah reward you and continue to enable in doing more to Islam through your blogging theology channel.
Salam.
