i find that comparing and contrasting the narratives that both the Koran and Bible hold is a great way to notice the cultural and worldview differences.
for me, the most telling example of this is the story of Joseph. The attitudes towards women, history, and temptation are radically different. it's also interesting to see an ancient story told from a different perspective.
