Christians may read and study the Quran for education and evangelistic purposes; avoid it only if it causes personal spiritual instability

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 3) 00:56:01 – 00:57:32

Response to Sarah Nordberg (Denmark) who feels convicted reading the Quran for a required university religion class.

Mike says he has read the Quran himself and recommends it as an educational and evangelistic tool. Knowing the Quran opens doors with Muslims. He notes the Quran is organized largest-to-shortest chapter (not chronologically), making it confusing to read. The qualification: if you are personally susceptible to being led away from faith by reading non-Christian texts, protect yourself and do not read it. But for most Christians, reading it is entirely appropriate.
