In the two decades since 9/11, there has never been a greater potential for misunderstanding between the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths. Here minister Brian Brown examines scriptural characters as a way of seeing Islam in a new light, without the distortions of history or individual failings. In the Qur'an, Noah had a son who refused to get on the ark, while the Advocate sent by Jesus is revealed to be Muhammad. Offering a wide range of thought-provoking considerations, Brown makes a Christian defense of Muslim tradition, and the book includes study questions that can be used as a starting point for interfaith dialogue. "Respectful and moderate in tone, the text offers a sober-minded and refreshing approach to religion."—Library Journal
