A Christian Guide to the Qur'an: Building Bridges in Muslim Evangelism

In order to understand and minister to Muslims, Christians must first understand the Qur'an. This guide for Christians explains the central messages of the Qur'an in simple terms and illustrates how knowledge of Islam's sacred text can aid evangelism and religious understanding. In A Christian Guide to the Qur'an, Raouf and Carol Ghattas have created a tool that can build bridges of understanding between Christians and Muslims. Drawing upon their years of experience working in Muslim cultures and their extensive knowledge of Islam, the authors outline the worldview set forth in the Qur'an with a focus on evangelism. The authors also helpfully provide a glossary of Arabic terms and three appendices detailing important dates in Islam, biblical names found in the Qur'an, and biblical references in the Qur'an.
