Opis

Three old friends seek to address a crisis of faith by attending an interfaith conference of the world's three great monotheistic religions. Among leading Christians, Muslims and Jews, they find meaning, romance and violence on a biblical scale.

An engaging religious polemic wrapped in the familiar mantel of a murder mystery, "No Gods Before Me: The First of the Commandment Mysteries," is imbued with the most relevant Biblical and Quranic verses, revealing the scriptural roots of the current world conflict.

Respectfully and intelligently representing the views of humanists and religious believers alike, this book explores answers to questions like: what do the astrological disciplines teach about past and future history; what does God expect; what does the Bible teach on evolution and abortion; who was Jesus and what really happened on Golgotha; what do Jews await in the Messianic age; what does the Quran teach on jihad and on women's rights; what is the emotional root of the dispute between Christianity, Judaism and Islam. A must read for all those secure in their beliefs
