The Koran is a single text composed by one man of considerable power based on revelations made directly to him and initially spread mostly by military conquest. It makes almost no historical claims and breaks with and supplants prior revelatory traditions. In contrast to this, the New Testament is a collection of multiple attestations to historical events and revelations made to many people, initially spread among a marginalized group (until Constantine of course) and builds on a prior religious tradition going back hundreds of years. The reasons Christians believe their special revelation in the person of Jesus Christ and the reasons why Muslims believe in the special revelation of a book are not the same.
