Bibliography

“It is my belief that of all God’s wondrous creations, the intellect is

the most wondrous of all, and it is also my belief that a book is the

gift of God that preserves the intellect for generations to come.”

Khaled Abou El Fadl xvi

In compiling this anthology, I was able to build on numerous studies investigating the historical context and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and the Qur’an. I was encouraged by finding comparative studies on particular figures in both books, such as Jesus, Joseph or Job. All this work by others made it easier for me to compile my anthology. Only a handful of the relevant literature is mentioned in the bibliography.
