The Koran

IMAGINE, SELECTED SÛRAH'S OF INTEREST FOR BIBLE BELIEVERS IN AN EXCITING NEW AND UNIQUE, EASY TO USE METHOD OF STUDYING THE KORAN IN LIGHT OF THE BIBLE-YOU MAY EVEN DISCOVER SOME THINGS ABOUT THE BIBLE YOU DIDN'T KNOW! Many people have asked if there is some way to take the Koran and specifically those sûrahs which contain Bible references and stories-and place the biblical versions alongside the Koran's versions-which would allow the Bible believer to compare how accurate the Koran is when dealing with biblical issues. To our knowledge, this has never been done before due to the fact that the Bible stories found in the Koran do not follow the same order of events or storyline the Bible does; nevertheless, we have come up with a way for you to not only read each verse in a selected sûrah (chapter), but to have commentary which explains in simple terms what some of the more complicated verses are about and-when appropriate-placing the actual corresponding Scripture or relevant Scriptures from the Bible along that of the Koran's verse.The handy "Torah/Bible" icon lets you see at-a-glance-on any particular page-where the Bible verses are. BONUS: We also include a table with a complete list of sûrahs and the order in which they appear in the Koran, along with a list of the order in which Muhammad actually received them. Now you can easily find-when dealing with conflicting verses in the Koran-which verse abrogates or replaces another. Speaking of conflicting, sometimes the Koran combines stories, people and events, which are unrelated, into one story. By using the Bible-rather than drawing on our own opinions-you can compare between the Bible and those biblical stories being presented in the Koran, and judge for yourself if the Koran is accurate or not. We also offer text boxes that act like your own personal study-coach-pointing out interesting observations for you to consider. There are no other Koran studies with biblical commentaries and Scriptures like this one! This is not only a wonderful book for Christian schools and colleges; it is also a perfect gift for your pastor. This book is also a great resource for your church or school library, and don't forget your small church study groups. The actual Koran (Qur'an) itself has around 470 pages-about the size of the New Testament. This book is slightly larger than that due to commentary and biblical comparisons. If we were to do a complete commentary of the entire Koran, along with Scriptures from the Bible, this book would be between 1500 and 2000 pages and would not only be huge, but also very expensive; therefore, in order to make this book affordable and give you the most sûrahs (containing well over 700 verses) within a 500-page format, we have selected sûrahs geared to the interest of the average Bible believer-especially when compared with the Bible.
