In Interpreting the Qur'an with the Bible, R. Michael McCoy III
brings together two lesser known yet accomplished commentators on
the Qur'an and the Bible: the mu'tabir Abu al-Hakam 'Abd al-Salam
b. al-Isbili (d. 536/1141), referred to as Ibn BarraGan, and qari'
al-qurra' Ibrahim b. 'Umar b. Hasan al-Biqa'i (d. 885/1480). In
this comparative study, comprised of manuscript analysis and
theological exegesis, a robust hermeneutic emerges that shows how
Ibn BarraGan's method of nazm al-qur'an and al-Biqa'i's theory of
'ilm munasabat al-qur'an motivates their reading and interpretation
of the Arabic Bible. The similarities in their quranic hermeneutics
and approach to the biblical text are astounding as each author
crossed established boundaries and pushed the acceptable limits of
handling the Bible in their day.

This collection contains some of the best new work being done on
the subject of character from the perspectives of philosophy,
theology, and psychology. From creating a virtual reality
simulation of the Milgram shock experiments to understanding the
virtue of modesty in Muslim societies to defending soldiers' moral
responsibility for committing war crimes, these 31 chapters break
much new ground and significantly advance our understanding of
character. The main topics covered fall under the heading of our
beliefs about character, the existence and nature of character
traits, character and ethical theory, virtue epistemology, the
nature of particular virtues, character development, and challenges
to character and virtue from neuroscience and situationism. These
papers stem from the work of the Character Project
(www.thecharacterproject.com) at Wake Forest University, generously
supported by the John Templeton Foundation. This collection is
truly unique in featuring the work of many young, up-and-coming
voices in their fields with new perspectives to offer. Together
their work will significantly shape discussions of character for
years to come.
