Overview

Noah's Other Son examines twenty-five familiar figures who play major roles in the Qur'an and in both Old and New Testaments of the Bible, revealing how understanding the characters in these texts can point the present-day Muslim, Jew, and Christian toward a more mature and tolerant concept of religion. Noah's Other Son serves as an introduction to the place of the Qur'an in Muslim and world culture, as well as a tool to help equip all moderate religious people to deal with extremism wherever it may be found.
