Beyond his apologetic works about Jesus Christ and the Christian faith, C.S. Lewis polarized the religious and non-religious world with his famous Trilemma expressing his opinion on the nature and identity of Christ. While for the Christians and atheists C.S. Lewis's Trilemma is still a matter of rather harsh debate, for the Muslims it represents a matter of lesser importance. Some of those acquainted with C.S. Lewis's ideas approached it with caution taking into account the Qur’anic statements about the revelations previously “descended” upon man, which generally prevent the Muslims from commenting or interpreting the other monotheistic scriptures. Thus, many Muslim scholars consider C.S. Lewis's Trilemma a Christian affair not of their concern, while others object to its content considered incompatible with the Islamic views concerning the person of Jesus Christ.
