It's not everyday that a local church pastor from North America makes meaningful dialogue with Muslims a part of his regular ministry. That's why when I learned of Aaron Goerner's ministry and his new book, I was so thankful for his example to the Western Church. Aaron Goerner is a pastor of a local church in Upstate New York, where face to face encounters with Muslims are not an everyday occurrence. However, he takes his role as a messenger of the Gospel and a leader of the Church seriously, and has undertaken an extensive and ongoing dialogue with Muslims online as a part of his regular ministry.
I recommend you purchase an e-copy of his book, Is the Qur'an the Word of God? for your own resources. It contains candid and respectful dialogue with Muslims from all over the world on all of the "typical" Muslim misunderstandings of Christianity. I am so grateful for Aaron's example of taking personally his responsibility for the Great Commission among Muslims as a local church pastor.

The Qur'an certainly claims (in many places) to be the Word of God. The question I would like to ask is this:
Does the Bible claim to be the Word of God?
The amazing thing is that it doesn't! Christians are always surprised to learn that this is so...
