		Al-Masih, Ibd Islam from a Biblical perspective £3.00 Islam is one of the most widespread religions in the world. Its influences not only the only the lives of people in faraway lands, but also more and more of everyday life in secular Europe and North America. This book puts Islam under a magnifying glass. It clarifies the spiritual differences between Allah in Islam and the revelation of God in Christ, the differences between Muhammad and Jesus, between the Qur'an and the New Testament, and between the law of Islam and the grace of Jesus Christ. With that it warns against the religious syncretism that characterises public opinion today.

When interpretting the Qur'an, he relies heavily on the well-respected commentary of Razi, and also refers to Muslim theologians such as Taymiyya and Ghazali.
