The current political climate is one of fear—fear of the unfamiliar and fear of violence in the name of God. The clash of these situations beg our attention and demands rectification. As an introduction to comparative religion and as a metaphor for peace, author and physician, Laurence B. Brown follows his historical and religious thriller, The Eighth Scroll, with this theological tsunami, in which he analyzes the scriptural foundations of the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This is not a “My Religion is O.K., Your Religion is O.K.” book, but a full-speed-ahead, take-no-prisoners search for absolute and uncompromising religious truth.
Now more than ever, Dr. Brown’s message is not only relevant but necessary. Drawing out similarities and cognitive distinctions, he identifies valid links in the chain of revelation while differentiating the truth of God’s guidance from the falsehood of human corruption. For all who have ever questioned the theological puzzles parrotted down to them by well-meaning family or seemingly sincere but single-minded clergy, this book is a roadmap of guidance and misguidance in the Abrahamic faiths: the questions, the quest, and most of all, the answers.
