Synopsis

In "The Voice, the Word, the Books", F. E. Peters leads readers on an extraordinary journey through centuries of written tradition to uncover the human fingerprints on the "Hebrew Bible", the New Testament, and the Qur'an, sacred texts that have enriched millions of lives. Bringing the latest Biblical and Qur'anic scholarship to a general audience, Peters explains how these three powerfully influential books passed from God's mouth, so to speak, to become the Scriptures that we possess today. He reveals new insights into their origins, contents, canonization, and the important roles they have played in the lives of their communities.
