The Shining Quran. A Biblical Scholar's Perspective

In the book of the renowned theologian-biblical scholar Dmitry Vladimirovich Shchedrovitsky, the teachings of the Quran are compared with the revelations of biblical prophets. It shows the manifestation of a single Divine plan in the spiritual development of the 'sons of Adam,' revealing aspects of the Muslim tradition that are little illuminated or ignored by other researchers. The purpose of the book is to promote brotherly understanding among believers of different religions, to which the Quran earnestly calls: '...Strive to outdo one another in good deeds!'
