What You Should Know about Islam’s Holy BookHow is it like the Bible? How is it different? Why is it important?Muslims believe the Koran exists as a literal book in heaven and was dictated to the prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. It is only the length of the New Testament, yet a fifth of the world claims it is the complete revelation of God. To most Americans, though, the Koran remains a mystery.Did you know that the Koran teaches the virgin birth and miracle-filled, prophetic ministry of Jesus? Claims to fully embrace his teachings? Reveres Abraham, Moses, Jonah, and other biblical prophets? Find out how the Koran resembles the Bible—and the drastic ways in which it differs. Understanding the Koran gives you a fascinating essential grasp of Islam’s holy book: where it came from, what it teaches, how Muslims view it, and how the Allah of the Koran compares with the God of the Bible.Cherished as the final, perfect revelation of God’s will by 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide, the Koran has become a part of American life. Today, those who read and memorize it may work in your town, shop where you shop, or send their children to the same school your kids attend. What do you know about the holy book that shapes the lives and eternal destinies of your neighbors and a fifth of the world’s population?While some similarities exist between the Koran and the Bible, the differences are striking.

" I gained so enlightenment about the Koran but I can't say this was what I was looking for. "

" This book is heavily referenced in the textbook that I teach from. That was nice to see. My dad gave the book to me several years ago, and I had never gotten to it. Very in-depth and helpful. "

" Very Christian-centric. The book is opinionated and not balanced. "
— Alice, 8/26/2011 -
" This book is a nice short introduction to the Koran and what it says, and how it was written. It was written by a man who converted from Islam to Christianity, and he explained why and how the Koran plays an important part of a Muslim's life. "

" A very good concise guide to the Koran. "
