Readers may have a number of reasons for taking the time to study this book:
• Maybe you know nothing about Islam, and this volume is your first introduction to the religion.
• Perhaps you have taken a university-level class on Islam and seek to expand your knowledge.
• Maybe you are a Westerner who is apprehensive about Islam. You worry about what is going to happen to this world,
  and this fear has impelled you to increase your understanding.
• Or perhaps you are a Muslim and have a deep-vested interest in the subject; you want to make sure that what the
 book says is fair.
Regardless of your background or religion, we hope that Jesus and Islam will stimulate you to deeper thought, and even some soul-searching.
