Not everyone realizes that some of the key figures of Christianity (for example Jesus and Mary) and Judaism (Abraham, Moses) feature prominently in the Qur'an. The Bible and the Qur'an provides an introduction to and complete overview of all the figures and groups who are mentioned in both the Bible and the Qur'an. The principal focus is on the similarities and differences between the presentation of these characters in the two texts, with focus placed on how they appear in the Islamic text. Many of the individuals/groups discussed are also treated in other Islamic sources, most notably the collections known as "The Stories of the Prophets," and these references are also included. Each figure or group that appears in both texts receives its own entry which includes the following items: (1) a list of relevant Qur'an passages; (2) a description of how the individual/group is presented in the Qur'an and Stories of the Prophets; (3) questions/issues to consider; (4) suggestions for further readings, when relevant. An introductory section provides a basic orientation to the Bible, the Qur'an and other Islamic sources by discussing their contents, role, and how they are used and studied.
