What Every Christian Needs to Know about the Qur'an
Learn what Islam Really Teaches, Straight from Its Sacred Text
Relying on the media and politicians to tell us what Muslims believe isn't going to cut it. Christians need to be better informed, whether the goal is to understand global politics or to talk to a Muslim neighbor across the street.
Through fair, contextual use of the Qur'an and other documents, scholar and accomplished debater Dr. James White examines what Muslim sacred texts teach about Christ, salvation, the Trinity, the afterlife, and other important topics. This book provides the answers you've been looking for to engage in open, honest discussions about Islam with Muslims and others.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“I am thrilled to see the publication of this much-needed book on a critically important subject, and my friend and colleague Dr. James White is uniquely equipped to write it.

“Here, finally, is a book that so many Christians have been waiting for: a clear, thorough, and compelling examination of the Qur'an. If Christians are going to engage the Muslim world with the gospel of Jesus Christ, then they need the necessary tools to accomplish that task. And this book is one of them. I highly recommend it.”

President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, NC
“James White has given the thoughtful Christian a game-changer for Muslim-Christiandialogues about the Qur'an, the Bible, and our claims to truth. For too long, Christians have remained largely ignorant and even reluctant toward one of the world's largest faiths. We no longer have reason for either ignorance or reluctance thanks to White. I know of no other introduction to the Qur'an and Islam that is as technically competent and easy to read as James White's What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an. This book is my new go-to source and recommendation for anyone wanting a thorough introduction to the thought world of the Qur'an and the Muslims who revere it. For irenic, honest, charitable, and careful discussion of the Qur'an, this is the best resource I know.”

“Dr James White has written an immensely informative, carefully documented overview of Islam and the Qur'an—rich with fascinating historical, biblical, and theological analysis. In this era of rising Islamic influence declining tolerance for Christianity, evangelicals must have more than a rudimentary understanding of Islam and its history. If we're going to meet the Islamic challenge to our faith, we need to be informed, intelligent, and prepared to answer our Islamic neighbors in a forthright, clear, and thoroughly biblical way—yet with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). This book is excellent model to show how that's done.”

Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA; author, MacArthur Study Bible
“This book is magnificent! I believe this is the most thorough and comprehensive book written by an evangelical scholar on the Qur'an. I will surely use it and recommend it in all my teachings! I pray that every Christian serious about engaging with Muslims would read this work thoroughly. Thank you for your labor of love and scholarship”
Abdul Saleeb
coauthor, Answering Islam and The Dark Side of Islam
“It is absolutely essential that Christians understand that Islam and Christianity represent two contradictory sets of truth claims James White understand this, and in this important new book he sets out the issues of truth with distinction and clarity. Christians will welcome this book as they seek to understand the challenge of Islam.”
R. Albert Mohler Jr.
President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
