Publisher Description:
A unique anthology, placing of verses from Qur'an and Bible side by side with familiar stories ranging from Adam expelled from paradise; Noah and the flood; David and Goliath; to Mary and Jesus. The stories of Abraham, Joseph and Moses are also related in verses side by side, as are descriptions of heaven and hell. Controversial topics - the subservience of women, war and crime - are not shunned. Shared human value are likewise charted as are common attributes ascribed to god and Allah. Reflective essays are included by experts from different backgrounds. This non-partial anthology leaves readers to draw their own conclusions. Out of respect illustrations are omitted.
