Description
For Westerners the Qur'an is a deeply foreign book. And yet the Qur'an is always just beneath the headlines of our daily news. Forthright in Christian conviction and yet sympathetically open to dialogue, The Qur'an in Context is a reliable guide for those who want to explore the holy book of Islam in its varied facets.
In the book, Mark Anderson offers a gateway into the original world and worldview of the Qur'an. Anderson explores the Qur'an's theology, anthropology, soteriology, and spirituality as well as its portrayal of Jesus. He also examines the Qur'an's claim of being the Bible's sequel.
Advance Praise
"Mark Anderson has produced an excellent, incisive, well-researched
book highlighting similarities and distinctives between the Qur'an and
the Bible. . . . He enters into the realities of the
Muslim worldview by exploring the seventh-century context of the Qur'an,
on which Muslim belief and behavior is built. Without reservation, I
commend Anderson's work to all who desire to move beyond 'breaking news'
and sensationalism and come to grips with the inside story of who
Muslims really are."
—Phil Parshall, SIM USA
"Demonstrating a familiarity with contemporary scholarship and
respect for Muslim sensitivities, Mark Anderson describes the context in
which the Qur'an arose and how it both reflected and challenged that
world. . . . This study provides an excellent
foundation for an informed and sensitive discussion with Muslims."
—J. Dudley Woodberry, dean emeritus and senior professor of Islamic studies, Fuller Theological Seminary
