“The Qur’an actually says that?” This is how most people respond when reading the Qur’an for the first time. They are surprised, at times shocked, at that which is found in this most sacred book of Islam.
Following Shakespeare’s oft-repeated line, “brevity is the soul of wit,” What the Qur’an Reveals is a fast read. Most chapters are three pages in length. It is a companion volume to Qur’an Revealed: a Christian Critique, taking many of its insights, presenting them in a crisp and condensed form. In this respect, the two books go together—reinforcing the truths found in each.
