Islam & Christianity: Conflict or Conciliation?: A Comparative and Textual Analysis of the Koran & the Bible

I found that this book did not convince me that Islam is the true way, but it sure was an eye opener in its criticism of the Christian faith. It brought out some very valid points that have given me much to think about. The book is an easy and quick read, especially considering the content involved. One suggestion... have your Bible handy when reading this book!

Another excellent work by Muhammed Asadi!This book is very easy and enjoyable to read, while at the same time dealing with very intriguing topics.This book does a very good job to show what the Quran and Islam are *really* about. Years of corruption, misrepresentation, high-profile fringe groups, and simple ignorance have clouded the west's view of Islam. This book does an excellent job of cutting through the misinformation.If for no other reason than to understand what Islam is really about, Christians should read this book. Christians may choose not to agree with everything in the book, and that is fine. However, it should be eye-opening to see that two of the major western religions have more in common than they might realize.

Review by Zaine Ridling Ph.D.Of all the books, namely the Quran, that your church would NOT want you to read as a Christian, Asadi's pinpoint comparative examination between the scriptures of the Quran and the New Testament is one of them! First, the book relies on historical and anthropological research, along with how the Quran in many instances seeks to correct the idolatry of Christianity (which, of course, the Jews recognized right away), but then shows how during the first century CE, Christianity turned the wonderful prophet Jesus into a mythical character, and eventually established him as God in its own scriptures. Asadi then comes back around and shows how Christianity could be reconciled if only it could alter its seminal view of Jesus and get back to the religion that Jesus himself practiced throughout Israel. Asadi does not disparage the New Testament, but shows how the Quran, as the Final Testament of God, is the pure and uncorrupted Word of God. This book does certainly force a paradigm shift on those who read it, perhaps because Asadi not only argues cogently, but writes with a clarity that is rare.
