Which God? By Dr. Mark Durie provides us with a succinct statement outlining the very significant differences between Allah and God. Dr. Durie engages directly and graciously with the issues. He has supported his comments with quotations from the Bible, the Quran and the Hadiths, as well as from writers in the first few centuries AD. This book is easy to read and the points made are easy to digest.
