There are a lot of differences between the Bible and the Quran (Koran). They are radically different in their origin, span of writing, number of authors, and content. In fact, the Quran contradicts the Bible in many areas. As Christians, we do not trust the Quran to be accurate. It came from Muhammad 600 years after Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, which were recorded by the eyewitnesses. Yet, Muhammad came along and said the Bible was corrupted. He then proceeded to contradict it. The table below shows just some of the more important differences between the Bible and the Quran.
