Fountain of Christianity

By Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiahas

and Mahdi, wrote Fountain of Christianity in March 1906,

in response to a book written by a Christian, in which the

gentleman tried to prove that the Holy Quran does not

contain any new teachings and that the Holy Prophetsa

merely copied the narratives from past scriptures-God

forbid. The Promised Messiahas responds to this objection

by, first, raising serious doubts about the authenticity of

the Christian Gospels, and then goes on to show how the

Holy Quran is a unique and peerless book, how so many

of its prophecies have been fulfilled, and how its blessings

live on to this day.

In this small book, the author also argues against the doctrines

of Trinity and Atonement held by Christians, and

shows that these beliefs have nothing to do with the teachings

of Jesus himself. In this context, the Promised

Messiahas also draws out a comparison between the Muslim

and Christian teachings of forgiveness and punishment.

The second part of the book, or Epilogue, consists of a profound

thesis on the nature of true salvation. The Promised

Messiahas describes salvation as "The abiding peace and

happiness which man, by his very nature, hungers and

thirsts for, and which is achieved through personal love

and recognition of God, and through a perfect relationship

with Him." The Promised Messiahas shows that the Christian

and Hindu doctrines of salvation have not only failed

in this purpose, but are also contrary to the eternal laws

and attributes of the Almighty God.
