Religion’s Enigma

A CHRISTIAN'S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM This book was written to help Christians-especially American Christians-better understand Islam and the Muslim people who follow it. Just as there can be a gap between what Christians are taught and what they practice, the same can be said of many Muslims. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a comparison between the Bible and the Qur'an. The Bible is God-breathed, while the Qur'an is man-breathed. The comparison lies in how Christians and Muslims live out their respective faiths. In America, many Christians seem to follow tradition more than true biblical teaching-often due to the superficiality of leadership-while many Muslims are deeply devoted to the teachings of the Qur'an. Furthermore, this book does not equate the God of the Bible with Allah. Though they may seem similar in concept, they are fundamentally different: Allah is a distant, impersonal deity who demands obedience, while the God of the Bible-creator of the universe and Father of Jesus Christ-desires a personal relationship with every human being. Finally, I must emphasize that JESUS is the ONLY WAY to heaven...for ALL humanity...and when Muslims come to Jesus, THEY BECOME SOME OF THE MOST DEVOTED CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS ON EARTH.
