Excerpt from The Beacon of Truth: Or Testimony of the Coran to the Truth of the Christian Religion The opening chapters discuss the prophetic claim of Mohammed. In the First, it is proved from an abundance of passages that he showed no miracle, and that the Coran, which is called by his followers a miracle, has, notwithstanding its wonderful beauty and power, no trace of the miraculous about it. In the Second chapter are quoted an array of texts, belonging to the early years of the Prophet's ministry, in which toleration is enjoined and constraint for bidden in matters of religion, - his mission being limited strictly to that of a Preacher and Warner.
