Book Reviews of Jesus and Muhammad: The Parallel Sayings
Book Review: Good but not Great Overview
Summary: 3 Stars
In a nutshell, this is an adequate book - three or two-and-a-half stars - which fairly accurately represents Islam or Christianity insofar as what it has divulged. It is a good, but not the best of books. Those really wishing to compare and contrast the two fully should read the entire Bible, the Koran, as well as some good, critical scholarship about each. What most progressives want is to have an inclusive religious view, and they tend to gloss over parts of the text and tradition that are inflammatory or disagreeable. This book is of the progressive bent, and is no exception. Progressive religion may be preferable to some conservative or exclusive views, however, part of whom make it their primary intent to exalt one religion at the expense of demeaning and misrepresenting another (Mark Gabriel's title also called "Jesus and Muhammad" is of this latter type - from what I know I would strongly recommend this title over Gabriel's). What is most needed is a piece of scholarship which points us to our common religious and moral values (for they do exist) while at the same time frankly, openly and honestly (and in depth!) stating those parts that are most controversial and explosive. Christians and Muslims can find reconciliation, but it is not an easy thing to do, and more depth will have to be explored than Joey Green gives it here (and certainly much more depth than Gabriel who has factually misrepresented Islam). At best, this is an adequate and very short introduction to common bases of Christianity and Islam for those who are of the progressive mind-frame.
