The Morality and Ethics of the Bible and the Qur'an - E-book - ePub

Any scripture must contain the proofs to its own divinity and authenticity. The morality system embedded in any scripture can be used to evaluate and scrutinize scriptures. The book compares the morality of the Bible with the morality of the Qur'an. Twenty four moral issues are examined in these scriptures. In doing so, surprising answers were obtained to important moral questions, such as: Who ate first from the Forbidden Tree, Adam or Eve? Was Noah's Flood universal or local? Did Lot offer his daughters to be raped? Did he commit incest with them? Other moral issues discussed in the book include: Defamation of the Prophets, The Generational Curses, Punishing One for Crimes Committed by Others, Wars of Conquest and Extermination, Stories of Adultery and Rape, Racism and Slavery, and much more. The book also reviews some recent biblical scholarship studies regarding the authorship, authenticity and reliability of the Bible.
