FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Engagement with the Muslim world and Muslim people is inevitable for Christians. After all, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States. But what does the Quran really say about things like Jesus, war, and non-Muslims? What does the Bible say on these matters? If Christians are to engage in informed, loving conversation with their Muslim neighbours, they need to be equipped with more than the often-specious talking points they glean from the news or email forwards. Comparing the Quran and the Bible offers readers an unprecedented collection of Scriptures and doctrines of both faiths presented side by side for easy study and comparison, covering such key issues as God/Allah; Jesus; Abraham; creation; angels/jinn; jihad; the fall of man; predestination; sacrifice/ransom; grace; rebirth; godly life; women; marriage and divorce; homosexuality; suicide; resurrection; judgment; Paradise; and prayer. A brief explanation of each passage in the Quran and the Bible is given, as well as biblical answers to Islamic teaching. The book also motivates readers to have hearts for Muslims and seek to bring them to Christ, offering "door openers" to sharing the Good News. This indispensible collection will be treasured by anyone seeking to understand and engage their Muslim neighbours." Back Cover What do Muslims really believe?
