5.0 out of 5 stars Blows the detractors away-and they can't stand it!, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Quran & the Bible in the Light of History & Science (Paperback)

Deserves More than 5 Stars!!! Being the professional doctor he is,Dr.Campbell not only saves people from death or eliminates the diseases inflicting sick people. In this book, he skilfully saves readers from the mental paralysis and ill informed presumptions and the misguided prejudices propogated by Bucaille-and Muslims. Campbell skillfully dismantles the many, many false assumptions and mis-interpretations that Bucaille uses as a platform to build his laughable theories about Christianity and the Bible on. So, reacting to this, those with the 'poison' in their minds are reeling from the purgative effects this adept rebuttal has upon those who have been drinking from the well dug by Bucaille. Dr.Campbell, who spent a good number of years in research before writing this book in response, also knows Arabic; and has also personally studied the Quran and the Bible. He also has referred advice from experts in several fields ie.Astronomy, Geology and human Embryology, in order to maintain factual accuracy. And even though he himself knows the arabic language personally, he has asked other men for whom Arabic is their native language, to assess and critique his word studies in that language. Such consistent thoroughness and detail study has resulted in a volume that critically examines and looks at the problems the Quran has with scientific anatomy, embryology and genetics as well as historical problems with fables, allegories and languages. This itself is just the tip of the ice-berg. Dr.Campbell strove to be faithful to factual accuracy in all other areas addressed in this book besides the above. This can only be due to the Doctor's disciplined eye for detail and the scholar's concern for truthful representation of the facts. Those,like the previous reviewer who have nothing left to say factually to Dr.Campbell's systematic response; resort to cowardly insinuations on his character like his alleged 'jealousy..' and so forth. Such character assasination have nothing to do with the truth and the facts of the case presented in this volume but is instead a desperate effort to divert the readers' attention away from the facts;to a fictional and baseless flaw alleged upon the writer's personality. Unfortunately desperate people have to clutch at whatever straws they can find to keep them from drowning! Because in the end the joke is squarely on Bucaille's books. That is what the detractors want so badly to prevent you from finding out..!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Cutting Rebuttal to Bucaille!, July 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Quran & the Bible in the Light of History & Science (Paperback)

Dr.Campbell's reply to Bucaille is logical,sensible and sharp. He addresses most of the claims Islam and the Quran makes on Christianity and the Bible (which are very often baseless or twisted out of context) and answers them, systematically, professionally and intelligently. Those who cannot take such clear rebuttals have more than thick wool over their eyes. And just try to wish this great book away. Or try insulting it or the author, but they just cannot deny the facts thats clearly presented in it. Shabas! (Congratulations!), Dr.Campbell, for taking the time to respond to those half-truths and misrepresentations, and thank you. This book is worth more than Five stars!

H.How (the Muslim near-east.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Quran & the Bible in the Light of History & Science (Paperback)

I give this Book FIVE golden stars! It is so good that I could not put it down from start to finish. Bravo Dr.Campbell. Keep up the good work of opening up the blinded eyes! Prejudice towards the real Gospel is like an onion, theres many layers and layers of pre-conceived deception and falsehoods over much of the muslim's eyes,that call for peeling off!
