What would be the point? Revelation 22:18 says "I warn everyone who hears the words of prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to these words, God will add to that person the disasters written in this book- (19) And if anyone takes away from the words of this book, God will take away tath one's share of the tree of life, and of the Holy city which are written about in this book."

Salaam Alaykum,
Yes you can browse Barnes and Noble they used to carry a book selected texts from the Qu'ran. Not a Qu'ran but rather a collection of beautiful verses of it. "The Essential Koran" an Introductory Selection of Readings fro the Qu'ran. Translated
and Presented by Thomas Cleary. But bear in mind you cannot hide from the harsh realities of life. Life in pre- Islamic times was very violent and with many battles to establish the fledgling Islamic Community had to be fought and won for our religion to exist today..and the killers then were our Prophets own tribe..Peace Be Unto Him. No Muslim's ever fought or killed in those days unless necessary for survival and thrive against there enemies.They were most merciful to the conquered more so than any other religious battles..despite the die by the sword myth. If that were true most conquered converted instead of revolted which is why we have so many
Muslim countries..many co -exist peacefully with other religions all over the world in India for example a
minority and with Arab Christians as a majority.Jews and Muslims have in the past co existed peacefully...occupation though has resulted in violent conflict in Palestine. For the reader of English Cleary unlocks the Koran and opens up it's power and grace. Also I highly recommend the DVD available from PBS HOME VIDEOS "Islam Empire Of Faith"

You'd probably only have about 3 pages of the Bible left--in large print.

Try the course in miracles.
Just the words of Jesus without all of the nonsense added by religion.
Love and blessings Don

That would be an unhealthy diet. Not good for much.

yes:
"I am God, believe in me for I am correct because I say so. Here is my son, believe in him too, he died so you can come worship me for all eternity. If you don't want to worship me you may go to hell."
Oops, I wasn't suposed to paraphrase. All the killing and volence was nessessary... >.>

If you cant come to terms with Gods wrath, then youre not ready to come to terms with the fact that we are all sinners, and in need of salvation.

Without the full version, how would you ever understand the history of the human spirit?
