Review: "In an age of media distortion and widespread stereotypes, both Christians and Muslims need a greater understanding of each other's faith. What do Christians believe about the Bible? What do Muslims believe about the Qur'an? And what do Christianity and Islam each have to say about Jesus and Muhammed?" "Christians who read this book will learn much about Islam. Likewise, Muslims who read it will discover why Christians are convinced of the truth of Christianity. Sure to provide grist for informed discussions, this rare book is one that Muslims and Christians can fruitfully study together."--Jacket.
