From the Introduction:
Many of the ancient places, people and events that populate Biblical history are also a part of the Islamic tradition. This latest exciting e-book from the Biblical Archaeology Society, Islam in the Ancient World, explores some of Islam’s significant history and sites, bringing a new perspective to Biblical history and traditions.
When we begin to compare Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael in the Qur’an and the Hebrew Bible, we find that despite some striking differences, their stories still have much in common. In Abraham’s Sons: How the Bible and Qur’an See the Same Story Differently by John Kaltner, an exploration of these similarities and divergences not only reveals what is distinctive about the Qur’an and Islam but sheds unexpected light on the Biblical text.
