The Koran Blog Begins

I am a life long Christian. I have known many Christians to blog though their Bibles. It is not a bad idea.

And yet, in light of the developments over the past several years, pitting Christians and Muslims against each other, I thought that it might do me some good to read the Koran. So, in processing my thoughts, I am going to blog my experiences.

I approach the Koran as a Christian, but I will be as open minded as I can be. I am not going to pretend that I am approaching the Koran with no preconceived ideas. That would be dishonest. At the same time, I am not intentionally aiming to discredit or slam the Koran.

The reading of the Koran in 2007 will be an attempt to understand the textual source of an influential and important world religion.

I hope you will join me either by reading the Koran, reading this blog or both.

This is a great idea, and I'm glad you're doing it.

I read the Quran last year, and meant to post a series of essays exploring the text and my reactions to it, but only managed a single essay in the series before other things took my attention. (That piece, if you're interested, is online here: Reading the Qur'an 1.)

I've only barely flipped through it. And you realize, of course, it's almost impossible to keep track of all your blogs...
