Synopsis
The Recital invites Christian readers on a journey to explore the revelations claimed by Muhammad over 23 years in the Arabian wilderness south of the Holy Land. This profound phenomenon, which has shaped the faith of billions, is examined through the lenses of divine scripture, history, and theology. The book highlights how the Quran’s literary qualities and purported miracles significantly shape Muslims’ understanding of God and His overarching plan for humanity.
With clarity and sensitivity, The Recital explores the Quran’s points of alignment and divergence with biblical teachings. It addresses key shared themes, such as monotheism, the legacy of Abraham, the prophetic tradition, and Jesus return, offering Christians a thoughtful framework for engaging with Muslim neighbors in truth and love.
The book also reflects on the purpose of human existence from a Muslim perspective: to glorify and serve God. Drawing on the Quran’s depiction of humanity as intelligent and autonomous servants, the author uses thought-provoking analogies, such as modern advancements in artificial intelligence, to illuminate humanity’s God-ordained role as His stewards. These insights, paired with biblical truths, help readers grasp the profound implications of God’s sovereignty and the unique calling of His creation.
Addressing contemporary issues, including the Palestinian conflict, The Recital emphasizes the Christian responsibility to advocate for justice, reconciliation, and peace. The book equips pastors, theologians, and other Christians with the tools to engage in respectful dialogue, fostering mutual understanding and advancing divine causes in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world.
Compelling and thought-provoking, The Recital inspires readers to live faithfully, understand and respect the other, and share divine truth with everyone.
