Product Description
The book presents a powerful challenge to conventional Judeo-Christian theology by defining the internal conflicts that fracture the metaphysical worls of Judaism and Christianity calling for reappraisal of the Judeo-Christian scriptures. The wok further documents the similarities of scriptura; foundations of the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the sum total of which suggests both continuity and commonality of the Creator.

Reader Reviews
A very scholarly and thorough account of the evolution of scriptures of the Abrahamic lineage. I don't know of any other work that gives the perspective as clearly as this from the view point of each of the monotheistic faiths and yet maintains the banner of "rationality and reason come before and above doctrine." Sure to become a standard work on comparative religion. Should be essential reading for people from all monotheistic faiths and for all historical and theological students with interest in scriptural history and evolution including teachers. Highly recommended.
