Description
A groundbreaking comparative study that illuminates the connections between the Qur'ฤn and the Bible
While the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are understood to be related texts, the sacred scripture of Islam, the third Abrahamic faith, has generally been considered separately. Noted religious scholar Gabriel Said Reynolds draws on centuries of Qur'ฤnic and Biblical studies to offer rigorous and revelatory commentary on how these holy books are intrinsically connected.
Reynolds demonstrates how Jewish and Christian characters, imagery, and literary devices feature prominently in the Qur'ฤn, including stories of angels bowing before Adam and of Jesus speaking as an infant. This important contribution to religious studies features a full translation of the Qur'ฤn along with excerpts from the Jewish and Christian texts. It offers a clear analysis of the debates within the communities of religious scholars concerning the relationship of these scriptures, providing a new lens through which to view the powerful links that bond these three major religions.

"Enormously helpful as a way not just into an unknown text but into another religious tradition." — Adam Gopnik, New Yorker
"Magisterial." — Eric Ormsby, Wall Street Journal
"A stunningly learned work, bringing together a truly impressive set of written, extra-Qurโฤnic witnesses and parallels." — Jack Miles, Los Angeles Review of Books
"Provides a new lens through which to view the powerful links that bond these three major religions." — Salzburger Theologischen Zeitschrift
"Fills a gaping hole to revelatory effect, contributing hugely to the understanding of the Qurโฤnโs origins within late antiquity." — Tom Holland, History Today, "Best History Books 2018"
