Both are holy books from the Middle East.
Both teach monotheism.
Both believe that Moses was given the Law.
Both believe that David was given the Psalms.
Both believe that Jesus was the source of the Gospels.

Thee are many branches of both Christianity and Islam that present a variety of views as to the interpretation and authenticity of these books. For example, the Shia believe that the Sunnis, in composing the Koran, left out many references to the beliefs of the Shia.
The Shia are very suspicious of the Sunni and are said to "read between the lines" of the Koran.

Some Christians are literalists and others contextualists. Literalists believe that every word is completely correct and should not be challenged. (Orthodox Jews tend to maintain a similar view whereas Reform Jews believe that these are the rules and laws of an ancient people and do not necessarily apply to them in modern times.) Contextualists ask such questions as: Who was the author? What kind of literature is this? Was this a time of peace or war? Who were the friends and enemies of the author?

The Bible is the inspired word of the one true God, and gives us the opportunity of salvation thru His Son, Jesus.

There's no parallel of this in the Koran.

Is tough to do word by word comparison because the Quran and the bible where not written in the same way. The Quran was revealed to us in Arabic, which is the language of our prophet Muhammad (PBUH), It has not been changed since his original revelation, and it has been memorized by millions upon millions upon millions of Muslims, The Quran talks about God in the first person, The Quran talks about science, past, present, future, the Quran talks about women’s rights, gives details on prophets that are not even in the bible. For example, did you know that the Quran says exactly the words that Haciti Jonah said while inside of the “Big fish”. Did you know that there is a whole chapter dediated to Virgin Mary (PBUH)? Did you know that Jesus(PBUH) is mentioned by named more times than Haciti Muhammad (PBUH)? Did you know that the Phrases believing man and believing women in several verses of the whole Quran is mentioned the same exact amount of time? Did you know that the recent discovery of the body of the pharaoh that fought against Moses (PBUH) was in the Quran, hundreds of years before it happened? Did you know that the Quran talks about the separation of the Atlantic and Pacific seas that was just discovered during the 80s?…The Quran talks about the stages of formation of the embryo in the woman’s womb???

The Quran came in 23 years of revelation to prophet Muhammed and we even have prophet Muhammed’s teaching separate from the Quran (The word of God recited) , the collection of sayings and actions of the prophet we call it Sunnah (So we do not mix the word of God with the action of the prophet).

So since is not in a story like book is pretty tough to compare them. But they basically talk about the same prophets :)

Bible is the word of GOD.

Koran is like a comic book (fiction)
