Overview
Is the Quran the Word of God? This book confronts that question from a conservative evangelical viewpoint, weighing the Quran's claims against the bedrock of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Beginning with Muhammad's rise in seventh-century Arabia, the discussion explores Quranic teachings on God, Jesus, salvation, and the afterlife, holding them up to the standard set by biblical prophecy, historical verification, and doctrinal harmony. The author demonstrates how the Bible consistently reveals God's purpose, culminating in Christ's atoning work, whereas the Quran revisits biblical figures but often diverges from core Scriptural truths.Each chapter analyzes pivotal issues: the Quran's literary claims, its alleged continuity with earlier revelations, the role of militant jihad in contrast with Christian nonviolence, and whether Sharia law can reflect the righteousness displayed in the Bible. The author highlights archaeological and manuscript evidence that firmly establishes the Bible's reliability and invites readers to consider whether the Quran meets the same criteria for divine inspiration. Throughout, the emphasis remains on speaking the truth with respect and patience toward Muslims. This volume concludes by showing how believers can witness effectively to Muslims, always upholding the Bible as God's complete, inerrant revelation. Here is both a thoughtful critique of Islam's foundational text and a testimony to the abiding power of biblical faith.
