About this ebook
Rodney Schofield traces the beginnings of Biblical and Qur anic literature and attempts a reconstruction of their original settings. He reassesses some of the classical theories and shows that the sceptres of the Abrahamic faiths, (Torah, Gospel and Qur an) possess many shared perspectives, reflecting their common heritage. A better appreciation of this shared legacy, he comtend, could promote greater mutual understanding and foster respectful co-existence among believers.
