Quoted from the "ISLAM REVEALED"

ISLAM UNVEILED

THE TRUE SOURCES OF ISLAM

E. Stanley Jones, the famed Christian apostle to India for sixty years, explained the types of religion
in the world.  Dr. Jones declared that the first type of religion is the word made word—God revealing himself primarily through a written revelation in a holy book.  The second type is the word made law, in which God is view as revealing Himself primarily in a set of rules to follow.  The third is the word made flesh.  If humans were libraries, the best way to communicate with them would be through a book.  If humans were constitutions and by-laws, they would respond best to a set of laws.  Because we are human, God chose to make the word flesh. 3
 The Muslims seem to believe that in the beginning was the "Word" and the "Word" became a "Book"!  Muslims assert that Allah has revealed himself most clearly in a book, not in Muhammad the person.  Indeed, according to my count, the word book occurs 259 times in the Quran.  In contradistinction, Christians believe that in the beginning was the "Word" and the "Word" became a human being! 4  Here ware some verses worth our consideration: And they say:  If only he would bring us a miracle from his Lord!  Hath there not come unto hem the proof of what is in the former Scriptures?…  In contrast, we must study John 1:1-15, especially verse 14 which is among the most unique statements to be found in all of literature:  "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
