Reviews
When the Qur'an describes Christians, and Jews, as 'People of the Book, ' it would seem a vital task of Christian-Muslim relations to reflect seriously on the respective understandings of the Bible and the Qur'an. Tom Wilson is an assured and trustworthy guide to a comparative, scriptural study, and does not shirk some of the mutually challenging differences, as well as the promising opportunities for shared exploration. --Richard Sudworth, Secretary for Inter Religious Affairs to the Archbishop of Canterbury By considering the accounts of characters who appear in both the Bible and the Qur'an, Rev. Wilson opens up a fascinating dialogue between these two traditions which allows each faith to speak on its own terms and then to engage in meaningful dialogue on key themes and ideas. This approach is refreshing, stimulating, and gives food for thought for those starting out in Christian-Muslim dialogue as well as those with many years' experience. --Andrew Smith, Director of Interfaith Relations for the Bishop of Birmingham
