Both traditions recognize and draw theological and historical lessons
from some of the same narrative sources, but this is the first
comparative resource to provide interdisciplinary coverage of the
history and textual sources associated with prophets and prophecy.
This thorough treatment of a difficult and increasingly controversial
subject area will encourage and cultivate knowledge and understanding.
Entries are drawn from five main fields: 1. Ancient Near Eastern
Studies 2. Bible and Biblical Studies 3. Judaism and Jewish Studies 4.
The Quran and Quranic Studies 5. Islam and Islamic Studies The A to Z
of Prophets in Islam and Judaism treat each entry as a compilation of
relevant data culled from these different traditions in order to take
the reader beyond the expected parameters of research. Originally
envisioned as an initial resource for students of comparative
religion, the extensive chronology, bibliography, and the overall
accessibility of the passages make the book suitable for a much wider
audience.
