Structured theological research

Begin with a question.

AbrahamMoses keeps what a text says apart from how each tradition reads it, records what every conclusion rests on, and lets you reject an assumption to see what follows — without altering a single source.

A worked answer, from the record

Islamic studiesProvisional

Who are the heirs of Ibrāhīm, and how does the Qurʾān present its relation to earlier revelation?

The Qurʾān presents Ibrāhīm as a ḥanīf, neither Jew nor Christian, whose religion the Prophet restores; it defines his heirs by following rather than by descent and conditions God’s covenant on righteousness. It describes itself as confirming earlier scripture and standing guardian over it. Jewish and Christian traditions answer from Genesis and Paul — so the deepest disagreement is about which text governs, not about what one text means.

What the texts say

AM-CLAIM-000187

Genesis presents an unconditional promise to Abraham of descendants, land and blessing to the nations.

Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 15:18; Genesis 17:7 · textual certainty: Secure

AM-CLAIM-000224

The Qurʾān says that to each community God has appointed a law and a way (shirʿa wa-minhāj).

Q 5:48 · textual certainty: Secure

AM-CLAIM-000230

The Qurʾān says Ibrāhīm was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but a ḥanīf, a muslim (one who submits), and not one of the polytheists.

Q 3:67 · textual certainty: Secure

Where interpretation begins

AM-CLAIM-000246 Sunni Islam, Shiʿi Islam

The heirs of Ibrāhīm are those who follow his religion, and the message given to Muhammad restores the religion of Ibrāhīm (millat Ibrāhīm), confirming and safeguarding earlier revelation.

Rests on 2 derivation(s); requires AM-AX-008

AM-CLAIM-000247 Rabbinic Judaism

God’s covenant with Abraham passes through Isaac and Jacob to Israel; those who join Israel become children of Abraham, but the covenant line itself is not defined by belief alone.

Rests on 1 derivation(s); requires AM-AX-010

Challenge an assumption

Reject AM-AX-010 — Genesis as received is an authoritative covenant charter (Jewish and Christian traditions):

  • AM-CLAIM-000246: Supported under selected assumptions
  • AM-CLAIM-000247: Not established under selected assumptions
  • Across the record: 1 not established under the selected assumptions, 0 with support weakened or only partial. No source changed.

02 · The method

Certainty decreases exactly where interpretation begins

Six connected layers hold the evidence. Confidence is recorded on separate axes that are never combined, and every conclusion records the derivations it rests on — so setting one assumption aside affects only what genuinely needs it.

01
Corpus

The sources, cited by edition and classified by provenance.

02
Claim Ledger

What the evidence establishes, one revisioned claim at a time.

03
Covenant Map

Where a passage sits in each tradition’s covenantal history.

04
Doctrine Graph

How ideas connect, with evidence on every edge.

05
Tradition Layer

How communities read the texts, in their own categories.

06
Research Engine

Retrieval, comparison and the dependency model.

Five measures, never one score

  • Textual certainty — Is the wording the claim relies on securely established in the witnesses?
  • Philological certainty — How securely is the meaning of the wording established?
  • Historical support — What does evidence outside the claim’s own tradition support?
  • Inferential strength — How strongly does the claim follow from its stated premises?
  • Traditional acceptance — recorded per tradition, as affirms, qualifies, disputes, rejects or does not address.

Exact dependency logic

  • A conclusion with two independent arguments survives the loss of one.
  • A report of what a text says keeps its standing when a reading of it is rejected.
  • Circular support never establishes anything.
  • Rival readings are shown on both sides; the dispute is never declared settled.
