Not the Same God: Is the Qur'an Allah the LORD God of the Bible? - Sam Solomon

\nThis intense and carefully researched book deals with the question that is increasingly on the minds of many, Is the Allah of the Qur'an one and the same as the LORD God of the Bible? Although it may seem to some that this book is a response to the recent controversy at Wheaton College regarding what political science professor Larycia Hawkins stated in a Facebook page addressing a closely related question, Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God, (http: //www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/12/christian-college-suspend-professor/421029/ ) in reality it was completed in December 2015 on the very eve of this controversy after a two year research effort. This coincidence, however, heightens the timeliness and underlines the importance of this issue. The book deals with this question using authoritative Islamic and Christian sources thus giving the reader a clear understanding of the Qur'anic Allah and the reasons he is not the same-or even similar- to the LORD God of the Bible. This book addresses the core differences, such that many will be enlightened and helped in understanding the issues objectively.
