"Only an erudite, excellent, and critical scholar like Anton
Wessels could have brought such seemingly disparate elements
together in such a brilliant and enlightening way. . . . This
coherent tour de force invites us to reevaluate our perspectives on
truth, history, revelation, and even the divine. As always, Wessels
opens up new vistas. I recommend this timely and pertinent book to
anyone interested in a peaceful and just world. It is
intellectually stimulating and one of the most hopeful books in our
current polarized context." Heidi Hadsell
-- Hartford Seminary
"A remarkable, helpful resource for reading the Torah, the Gospel,
and the Qur'an in relation to each other focused on central
questions that arise in each. . . . The reader will learn a lot
about Qur'anic and biblical texts and their contexts and will have
to rethink some basic assumptions about his or her religious
tradition, particularly pertaining to its relationship with the
other religious traditions 'of the book.' This is just the kind of
thought and conversation that we sorely need today in order to
build constructive and peaceful relationships across our religious
boundaries."
