Synopsis

This book examines the claim that Ishmael, not Isaac, was the heir of God's promise to Abraham, as stated in the Qur'an. The author compares the competing narratives from the Qur'an, the Old Testament, and the New Testament, examining the historical, linguistic, and theological evidence. The author argues that the evidence supports the traditional view that Isaac was the chosen heir, refuting the claim that Ishmael's descendants constitute the true people of God. The book explores the theological significance of this claim, challenging the view that it is a minor doctrinal difference between Islam and Christianity, and demonstrating that it has important implications for understanding the nature of God's covenant, the role of faith, and the identity of the true people of God.
