Jesus and Muhammad: The Parallel Sayings

by Joey Green (Editor), Joey Green (Editor), Sayyid M. Syeed (Foreword)

Jesus and Muhammad presents for the first time the sayings of Jesus from the New Testament and the parallel teachings of Muhammad found in the Koran and Hadith. These quotes clearly show that the core values of Christianity - love, peace, compassion, forgiveness, and repentence - match the central tenets of Islam and demonstrate that despite centuries of conflict, these two religions possess a common moral and spiritual foundation.

Reviews

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good scholarly book for interfaith dialog. Nice to see how close the Bible and Qur’an can be. Also it did touch on differences in the last section. I thought it would be a quick read since there is so much white space but it got me thinking.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a quick read that primarily quotes the Bible and Koran/Hadith on common topics. For each area: love, God, wisdom, faith, law, charity, sin, Jihad, hereafter, and differences there is a brief description.
