5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfull Breaktrough, January 26, 2003

By 

Karim (Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bible, The Quran and Science. (English and French Edition) (Paperback)

Wonderfull! This Book was truly a Breakthrough, shattering all prejiduce and myth, including the false Idea that science and Religion could never go hand in hand. Not only did he proove that it wasnt so, but he even showed us that the most misunderstood Book in the west was a Miracle of scientific compactibility. This Book is ofcourse the Kuran.If Maurice Book would have been written about the Bible it would have cause a sensation not seen for hundreth of years, but since it vouched
for Islam a stark silence sorrounded this Monumental work.

This Book is free of the often over-sentimental attitudes that born Muslim (without relizing it) display in their works. It is a hundreth percent logical and scientific presentation, whose only aim is to proove the validity of these scriptures. The objections that have been brought up against it are few and only from hardlined Christians( which is understandable) who watched their Bible being reduced to Historic rubble under the eyes of Science. But their complaints are more of a whining then an arguement, and they should be gratefully overlooked. The truth knows only itself and should not care about whats below it. In others words its perfect, like this Book.

May Allah Bless this wonderfull and Honest Man for prooving to the world that the pseudoscientific Disguise of Western secular "Modernity" is only a disguise to hide the obvious.Secular "Modernity" is in itself not the end and ceartanly not the truth, but only an Idea, and above that one which has caused much Harm to the world.
It is on Muslims to call the world to the only Truth there is, the only way, the only light... but sadly a Roman Catholic Christian had to do it. And to him we are greatfull. May we learn from his example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Read a Better Work of this Value, Never!, November 13, 2003

By 

Mark Sonnarr (Dearborn Heights, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bible, The Quran and Science. (English and French Edition) (Paperback)

I was skeptical at first. I read many reviewers' critique of this book and I hesitated a bit. Then I bought it. I was really amazed with the easy analytical work comparing the compatibility of the Bible, the Torah, the Gospels and the Quran with established modern laws of science. The author analyzed and compared the holly books in a neutral way (he is a Catholic). Within 10 days, I already read it twice and bought three more copies to my friends as gifts. When you read this book, read it with open mind, with no prejudice against any religion. It will give you a strong sense of understanding the glory of God...

5.0 out of 5 stars Analytical and objective comparative scientific study, December 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bible, The Quran and Science. (English and French Edition) (Paperback)

A breakthough scientifically analysed study of the religious texts with supporting data. That an illiterate Muhammad would have the kind of knowledge in 600AD that has scientifically been proven only in the last century indicates beyond a reasonable doubt that the information he had was inspired from one above us mere mortals. That it has been written by a non-Muslim dispels doubts of self-interest. As I understand, he died a non-Muslim even though he had proven the contradictions of the Bible and the consistencies of the Quraan. That is what I call courage and confidence of stating the reality without being personally affected.

Reading the reviews, I see that there is a rebuttal by Campbell which I intend to read for myself.

I would recommend this book for Muslims and non-Muslims alike who like to explore, learn, and then do an introspection of their beliefs without fear or prejudice.
