14 NT Apocrypha Jewish Talmud Eastern Sources Pagan Arabian Past The Hanifites

15 The Compilation of the Qur’an
from a Christian perspective Many different Manuscripts Different Sources Muhammad Collection and revision into one document All other manuscripts burnt

16 Possible uses of the Qur´an for Christians:
To learn from it To ask questions To help Muslims see the internal problems in their book To argue from the Qur´an (only if you know it very well!) To use as a bridge to the Bible by using common stories from it But: the Qur´an has no authority for Christians. No need to use the Qur´an to prove the Bible!
