"'The Quran with Christian Commentary' offers a unique introduction to the primary religious text of Islam. Alongside a precise modern English translation of the Quran, author Gordon D. Nickel provides in-text notes to explain the meaning of various sūrahs (chapters) and ayat (verses), their interpretive history and significance in Muslim thought, and similarities and differences when compared to biblical passages. Additional articles on important topics are written by an international team of today's leading experts, including Mark Anderson, J. Scott Bridger, George Bristow, Daniel A. Brubaker, David Cook, Linda Darwish, Mateen Elass, Jon Hoover, Ayman S. Ibrahim, Matthew Kuiper, David Marshall, and Peter Riddell."

Professors and students in courses on Islam and the Quran will find this to be an invaluable resource, as will pastors and missionaries who minister among Muslims. Written at a readable level, any Christian who wants to learn more about Islam and the Quran will find it to be a rich and informative introduction."
