A non-partial anthology of Bible and Qur'an stories: "timely,
unique and astonishing." John Esposito. Symbolized by Mary, the
Jewish mother of Jesus loved by Christians and Muslims alike, this
rare anthology seeks for common ground in a time of conflict.
Placing verses from Bible and Qur'an Side by Side, it shows the
Holy Books' commonalities in the stories of Adam in the Garden of
Eden; Noah and the Great Flood; David and Goliath and many more.
Controversial topics - the subservience of women, war and crime-
are not shunned, but the focus is on shared human values. Even God
and Allah are shown to have many attributes in common. Illustrated-
for a non-illustrated version see Qur'an and Bible Side by Side "A
compassionate contribution...preferring dialogue to strife and
refusing to claim superiority or blame the 'other' side." Ruud
Lubbers A peer reviewed book. " Recommended for lower-level
undergraduates through graduate student and general readers." Prof.
M. Swartz, Choice, Current Reviews for Academic Libraries,

its novel approach...(it) succeeds in awakening curiosity." Diego A
Sarrio, Washington, Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, January

stories are shown, in their subtle differences, to possess a
spiritual commonality." Revd. Dr Reinhardt Kiste, Dialog der
Religionen.
