Logos sells the Qur'an in English. I suggest also adding this resource:

  • A Christian Guide to the Qur'an: Building Bridges in Muslim Evangelism, Raouf Ghattas & Carol B. Ghattas (Kregel Academic & Professional).

Some excerpts from the back cover:

  • Who does the Qur'an teach Jesus is?
  • What does the Qur'an say about salvation?
  • How does the Qur'an describe Christians?

A Christian Guide to the Qur'an will prepare Christians to understand the central messages of the Qur'an in simple terms, and illustrates how knowledge of Islam's sacred text can provide birdges to religious understanding and evangelism.

Includes:

  • A glossary of Arabic terms
  • Important dates in Islam
  • Biblical names in the Qur'an
  • Biblical references in the Qur'an

    Logos sells the Qur'an in English.

    They also sell it in Arabic, but they don't sell it as an interlinear or a reverse interlinear.

    Is this a Logos resource?  If so, I can't seem to find it.  Could someone please point me in the right direction?

    No, its not a Logos resource.

    Rosie, in her initial post, was suggesting that they add it.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I thought that Rosie was suggesting that people buying the Qur'an from Logos, should also purchase the Christian Guide to the Qur'an (as a guide).

    No, Graham was right.

    This Suggestions forum is for us to make suggestions (of new resources or features or feature enhancements) to Logos, not for us to make suggestions to fellow users. That might not have been clear from the forum title, but if you peruse it enough you'll see that's the general gist of all the posts here.

    Yes to A Christian Guide to the Quran. I just picked it up and it would be a very useful tool.
