Gabriel Reynolds is one of the leading scholars of the Quran working anywhere in the world today. Christianity and the Quran represents the culmination of many years of meticulous study on this topic.

It will be an instant classic and point of reference for further studies in this area.Jack Tannous, Princeton University
