Synopsis

In The Voice, the Word, the Books , F. E. Peters leads readers on an extraordinary journey through centuries of written tradition to uncover the human fingerprints on the Hebrew Bible , the New Testament, and the Qur'an, sacred texts that have enriched millions of lives. Bringing the latest Biblical and Qur'anic scholarship to a general audience, Peters explains how these three powerfully influential books passed from God's mouth, so to speak, to become the Scriptures that we possess today. He reveals new insights into their origins, contents, canonization, and the important roles they have played in the lives of their communities.

Media Reviews
The Voice, the Word, the Books is an important new work on the authoritative texts of the Abrahamic religious traditions. It amounts to a comparative study of the three major Western faiths by looking through a window--in this case the window of scripture. Frank Peters is preeminently qualified to write such a work. -- Richard C. Martin
This is undoubtedly one of the best single volumes on the history of sacred text in the Abrahamic faiths.
Many readers will appreciate this probing interfaith investigation for the insight it offers into sacred books that both link and divide the world of faith.
Highly readable... The Voice, the Word, the Books, with its lavish illustrations and adequate index, will prove very valuable for those teaching an introduction to the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, or the Koran. -- Patrick J. Ryan The American
In today's culture of interfaith outreach, this book, agreeably approachable, offers insights into the parallel and intersecting paths the sacred books of the three great Abrahamic religions followed. -- Suzi Brozman Atlanta Jewish Times
