This is an evangelistic book written with Muslims particularly in mind. It is full of solid gospel truth and focuses particularly on the authority of the Bible and the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Both Christianity and Islam have their roots in the Jewish Scriptures. It begins with what the Qu'ran has to say supporting both the Old and New Testaments. It tells us that the Qu'ran insists that both the Injil (the Qu'ran's way of referring to the gospels) and the Torah (first five books of Moses) are guidance for everyone, 'clear testimony for mankind, and a guidance and mercy' (Qu'ran 28.43). When speaking to Muslim people about the Bible they often argue that the Bible text has been corrupted and is now untrustworthy. Mr. Masood addresses that crucial question. The Qu'ran itself never suggests that the text of Scripture has been corrupted. Some claim that the Injil and the Torah have been corrupted since the rise of Islam, but we have OT and NT documents (from the Dead Sea Scrolls, for example) which predate the rise of Islam and confirm the modern Scriptures.
