About this ebook

A Look Inside the Sacred Book of One of the World's Fastest-Growing Religions

What used to be an exotic religion of people halfway around the world is now the belief system of people living across the street. Through fair, contextual use of the Qur'an as the primary source text, apologist James R. White presents Islamic beliefs about Christ, salvation, the Trinity, the afterlife, and other important topics. White shows how the sacred text of Islam differs from the teachings of the Bible in order to help Christians engage in open, honest discussions with Muslims.

Ratings and reviews

Its not actually about Quran, Its historical materials that talked bad about Islam or Quran or Muhammed in a book whether it's from a scholar or just "some one". It has a deceiving not-bias introduction but it is. I got the book to get some christian perspective, but i don't think original Christianity allows some one to conduct this much hate toward some one even if you didn't believe him as a prophet.

The book in primal is full of theological discourse, it considers from Christianities prespective, and then compares it with Islamic, citing verses and a lot more. The book is not a philosophical writing, its an academic theological discourse (full of Quranic verse, Islamic historical context, and Islamic Hadith narrations), it touches the academic views like crucifixion event (which is established among major historians) and then the book goes to refute Quranic concept by theological concept....Theology!

Where the scripture reference's are they are not printed or read correctly. The way they are read, spoken, or written wrong, making them false texts and even no texts at all. If one could pass that and finally figure the scripture being used the book is good.
