Claiming Abraham: Reading the Bible and the Qur'an side by side

Many of the Bible’s characters and stories are also found in the Qur’an. However, there are often differing details or new twists. In this compelling book, seasoned theologian Michael Lodahl explores these fascinating divergences to discover the theological difference.

Writing from a Christian perspective that is respectful of the Islamic tradition, Lodahl offers an accessible introduction to Muslim theology and to the Qur’an’s leading themes to help readers better understand Islam.

Lodahl compares and contrasts how the Bible and the Qur’an depict and treat certain characters in common to both religions, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. He offers theological reflection on doctrines held in common by Christians and Muslims, such as creation, revelation, and the resurrection of the body.
