God and the Prophets explores the lives of the Abrahamic prophets through 7-years of research. Drawing from scriptural sources, historical scholarship, and cultural analysis, the book's approach is through an educated lens. The goal is to offer readers a credible scholarship and respectful storytelling.
This project is written for individuals seeking nuanced works that explore faith, history, and the human search for meaning.
The book is designed to resonate with general readers, interfaith audiences, and those interested in the cultural and historical contexts that shape religious traditions.
While digging into the lives of the prophets , we stumble upon some inquiries such as:
- Why do we describe Sarah as the mother of the Jews?
- Why do we speak of "the children of Israel," and not "the children of Abraham"?
- Did the Red Sea part and allow the clan of Moses to cross over to the other shore?
- Why did Jesus, son of Mary, say that he was a human being, whereas the Council of Nicaea insisted - that he was the Son of God?
- Why did Muhammad change the direction of the Qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims from Jerusalem to Mecca after his encounter with Salman al-Farisi?
The answers to such inquiries will be shocking.
I dedicate the book to:
To the free thinkers, to those who believe in a new beginning
for humanity, far from delusion and mystification.
