Quran - Actual word of God .. revealed to the final Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through the Angel Gabriel. Revealed over 1400 years ago, still remains unchanged word for word (copies in museums are exactly same as every other copy in the world - this is proven).
Bible - Not the actual word of God but written by scribes at least 100 years after Jesus, relates teachings of Jesus (the Quran confirms the truth of that which is in the Bible and the falsehood of the later interpolations, for example the false concept of Trinity.. Jesus worshipped one God and preached worship of One God)
Quran - Only One version exists as explained above
Bible - many different versions for example - King James Bible, Revised Standard Version etcetc.. All bibles are different.
Quran - more superior literary style as it is Word of God ( Quran challenges anyone to write a chapter like that in the Quran if they believe it not to be the word of God.. this challenge has been open for over 1400 years ago and yet no one has been able to do this!! The shortest chapter in Quran is only three lines!
Bible - less concise literary style as written by humans.
Quran - Worship One God, without son/partner. Jesus is Prophet of God like all other prophets sent to guide mankind to the worship of One God.
Bible - Jesus is the Son of God/Concept of Trinity (although the Revised Standard Version even states that this is a later addition made in the Bible)
Quran - Jesus wasn't crucified or killed
Bible - Jesus crucified.
Quran and Bible both agree on many points including :
1) the existence of many messengers and prophets inc Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Lot, Job and relate their stories in their books however Quran is more concise without any contradiction, as it is the Word of God
2) Belief in the Angels
3) Concept of heaven and hell
4) Day of Judgement is agreed upon.
5) Miraculous virgin birth of Jesus (pbuh)
6) Creation of mankind from Adam and Eve ( although Quran doesn't agree with the Bible's version of original sin and that Eve was to blame for misleading Adam.. The Quranic version is that both Adam and Eve were equally to blame and repented so were forgiven for the sin .. if someone is forgiven it is like they are no longer to be held account for that sin! )
These are just some points.. there are many more agreements and differences..
The reason for the agreements is that the source for both Books is God.. God sent many messengers to mankind, the last of which was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).. the reason for the differences is that many additions and mistakes were made by men in the Bible, which distorted the true religion and therefore there was the need for another revelation (the Quran) to guide people to the truth again! Christians were required to believe in the last Messenger, Muhammad (pbuh) just as the Jews were required to believe in Jesus (pbuh).
Contrary to what some have said, the Quran doesn't just talk about Muhammad (pbuh)!

Can't say much about agreement... the Quran claims to be earlier than the Bible, yet why is it placed on a timeline that bases the time upon the Coming of Christ? To me, the Bible makes more sense than the Quran. There are violent statements in the Quran that speak of the killing of other human beings.
"The unbelievers among the People of the Book (Bible) and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures" - The Proof.
To the Muslims who deny such words, you should re-read your own Book. I have seen this statement in the Quran MANY times.

Well they agree on the fact about the life of jesus.
a discrepency occurs when the bible says Jesus was killed
but the koran says God took Jesus' soul off the cross before he got killed. Then the koran goes on talking about Muhammad

Regardless of every similarity or difference, the bible teaches that Jesus is the son of God and is the ONLY way to God.
John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

both r the books of God,Allah Almighty.created us,this universe,n creator of prophet Muhammad(pbuh) n prophet Jesus(pbuh)
Quran vs Bible:
Quran: present in original form,one believes it to be God's word or not,but everyone agrees that it's present without even single change of word in it,throughout whol world.
n Bible,everyone knows that too,that it ammended, replaced,as new testament replaced the old.n this is done by the priests n preachers themselves.
Quran vs Bible teachings.
according to islam,there was chain of prophets sent by God Almighty,n Jesus(pbuh) n Muhammad(pbuh) r among them,n Muhammad(pbuh) is last prophet.
while christian believe Jesus(pbuh) himself as God

Below is a compairson...........
Origins
Topic The Bible The Koran
Origins The Holy Scriptures are a revelation of God, coming from God, and flowing through and to man. They are the only inspired and infallible divine revelation ever given to man and are the supreme authority in all matters of faith and morals. The Scriptures were plenary-verbally inspired. The Holy Spirit breathed upon the human vessels the very thoughts and words He wanted written. This word flowed through the human channels involving their emotions, personalities and frames of reference, without violating such. Yet the Holy Spirit guarded and preserved each thought, phrase and word from any error, omission or inaccuracy.
From The Foundations of Christian Doctrine
Kevin J. Conner
Christianity, in its origin, is not a book-religion, as many have asserted. Later there came a period in which it became a book-religion. But originally, it was not so. The Book, the New Testament, is really the result of Christianity. It is true that Jesus and His followers honored a book, the old Bible of the people of Israel, as a divine authority. But the fact that it owned the Old Testament does not distinguish Early Christianity from Judaism. What distinguished Early Christianity from Judaism was, not the possession of a book, but rather the possession of the personality of Jesus of Nazareth. With Jesus everything depends on the vitality of the Word, on deep thinking, on a living, winged Spirit, on the simple, triumphant Truth. In the beginning was, not the book, in the beginning was the Word which had become flesh in Jesus of Nazareth.
If Jesus wrote He certainly wrote no book, still less a sacred book for future generations. Jesus is not a man of literature, and in that respect He differs from many of His famous contemporaries. Neither is Jesus the author of a sacred book. In this respect He differs from other prophets, and from many of the great founders of religions. It is part of the greatness of the historical Jesus that He did not come forward as a lawgiver with sections and paragraphs, but rather as a sower who scattered with blessing hands the divine seed over the field.
From The New Testament in the Light of Modern Research
Adolf Deissmann
Long before Mohammed's call, Arabian paganism was showing signs of decay. At the Ka'ba the Meccans worshipped not only Allah, the supreme Semitic God, but also a number of female deities whom they regarded as the daughters of Allah. Among these were Al-Lat, Al-Uzzah and Al-Manat, who represented the Sun, Venus and Fortune respectively. Impressed by Jewish and Christian monotheism, a number of men known as 'hanifs' had already rejected idolatry for an ascetic religion of their own. Mohammed appears to have been influenced by them. It was his habit to retire to a cave in the mountains in order to give himself up to solitary prayer and meditation. According to Muslim tradition, one night in Ramadhan about the year 610, as he was asleep or in a trance, the Angel Gabriel came to him and said: 'Recite!'. He replied: 'What shall I recite?'. The order was repeated three times, until the angel himself said:
'Recite in the name of your Lord who created, created man from clots of blood. Recite! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One, who by the pen taught man what he did not know.'
When he awoke, these words, we are told, seemed to be 'inscribed upon his heart'.
Mohammed, who disclaimed power to perform miracles, firmly believed that he was a messenger of God, sent forth to confirm previous scriptures. God had revealed His will to the Jews and the Christians through chosen apostles, but they disobeyed God's commandments and divided themselves into schismatic sects. The Koran accuses the Jews of corrupting the Scriptures and the Christians of worshipping Jesus as the son of God, although He had expressly commanded them to worship none but Him. Having thus gone astray, they must be brought back to the right path, to the true religion preached by Abraham. This was Islam - absolute submission or resignation to the will of Allah.
