A Christian perspective, May 25 2001
By A. J. Valasek - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Al-Qur'an: A Contemporary Translation (Hardcover)
Being a Christian, I feel that if I want people of other religious beliefs to listen to what I have to say, I should be willing to listen to their beliefs also. I can't say whether this particular title is any better or worse than any other English rendition of the Qur'an, nor will I find out. I confirmed some of the hearsay that I get from ignorant Christians, while being surprised at some of what I read. Although there are similarities between Christianity and Islam, there is also a wide gap. In my opinion, this book does not teach or instruct much at all, but is a book of warnings. The Surah's (Chapters) are very redundant and contradictory. Paraphrased Bible stories are rampant often leaving out significant details. Overall, my mood was one of despair and hopelessness while reading, with only an occasional shot of hope. However, I still stand by my belief that to be good at a debate, blatant ignorance is disgrace to the witnesser.
