The Torah the Gospel and the Qur'an

<DIV>Discussing the Bible and the Qur'an in one breath will surprise some Jews Christians and Muslims. But Anton Wessels argues that all three traditions must read the Scriptures <I>together</I> and not <I>against</I> each other. As his book title suggests the three books in the end are actually one tale.<br><br>Wessels accepts Muhammad as a prophet and takes the Qur'an seriously as Holy Scripture along with the Old and New Testaments -- without giving up his own Christian convictions. Respectfully reading the Torah the Gospel and the Qur'an together he argues is of crucial importance: our world often sees these religious books as the cause of conflicts rather than the solution to them.</DIV>
