Publisher's 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 Qur'an 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 neighbors, they need to be equipped with more than the often-specious talking points they glean from the news or email forwards. Comparing the Qur'an 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 asJesusAbrahamcreationangels/jinnjihadthe fall of humankindpredestinationransom for sin/sacrificegracerebirthGod/Allahwomenmarriage and divorcehomosexualitysuicideresurrectionjudgmentParadiseprayerA brief explanation of each passage in the Qur'an 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 neighbors.

“The scholarship and research as well as the approachable style go hand-in-hand with an unambiguous witness to Christ. This will be both a great help to those seeking spiritual truth and also a deep comfort to those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the Nations.”
Rev. Dan P. Gilbert
“Rick Richter’s book is a landmark work providing excellent tools for understanding the differences and comparisons of the two religious books and also for Christian evangelism. The common misunderstandings of the Bible exhibited in the Qur’an are clearly delineated, and the many misunderstandings of what Muslims truly believe are clearly outlined as well. I can recommend this text to both teacher and student.”
“This book’s layout—a side-by-side comparison of what the Qur’an and the Bible have to say on a wide range of specific subjects—is extremely enlightening. Even without Rev. Richter’s very helpful comments, this comparison design lets these two very different religions speak for themselves. The Christian Gospel simply glows from the pages of the study.”
Rev. Ronald Weidler
“It is rare that I would have a guest on my radio program more than twice. However, I have had Rick Richter on three times because his book is filled with interesting information that cannot be exhausted in a one-hour interview.”
