In the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, worldwide interest in Islam has reached an unprecedented peak. Thousands convert to Islam each year in the United States alone, and sales of the Qur'an are very high. What do Christians need to know about the Qur'an? Fr. Jacques Jomier, O.P., has written a scholarly yet readable work that details the profound differences between Christian Scripture and the Islamic sacred texts, differences that are too often glossed over by the mainstream media. Topics addressed include: Isalmic teaching on Jesus and Mary, the universal mission of the Muslims, and Islamic law in relation to other religions.
