Description: Ray Ortlund suggests Christians should acquaint themselves with a surprising book for an important reason. Find out why a Christian should read the Quran.

Well, it isn’t about Christianity; it’s about Islam. I think every Christian should read the Quran. Oxford University Press has an inexpensive paperback edition. I recommend you buy it and read it.

And read it with these questions in mind:

Advertise on TGC

According to the Quran, whom does God love?
Whom does God favor?
How does one qualify for the favor, and blessing, and grace of God?

And then compare that message with the Bible. It’s eye-opening.
