Islamic Wealth

Western perceptions of the Islam world can be peculiar, with views of the Middle East rooted in terrorist concerns and thoughts of Southeast Asia tied to palm oil or tourism. Developments in finance, let alone Islamic banking, seldom percolate to the surface, nor do considerations of technology innovation. The ummah is far less homogeneous than international news would suggest. Definitions of wealth extend beyond commodity-based income at the national level to the role of spiritual issues in everyday affairs.

The Qur'an and the Bible
Text and Commentary
Gabriel Said Reynolds

The Qur'an and the Bible is an academic work, primarily aimed at those scholars who pursue critical interpretation of religious texts. While an exegetical study may sound too severe for lay readers, the selection is highly-relevant to those looking to untangle the many strands of monotheism as part of their own journey of faith. One common problem with comparison studies is that they take a Muslim view of the Bible or a Christian view of the Qur'an. This highly-learned, highly-readable material roots its analysis in a cultural and historical perspective, avoiding an overt theological bias that might otherwise derail analysis.
