Understanding Jesus and Muhammad
Paul Arnott, Acorn Press
A book to be launched in Melbourne this Wednesday suggests that ‘the future of our world may well depend on how the interaction between Christianity and Islam and the civilisations that have emerged from them plays out.’
The book by Dr Bernie Power is called Understanding Jesus and Muhammad and compares the lives and teachings of Muhammad and Jesus.
He holds degrees in Science, Arts and a theology, and uses the original texts of both Islam and Christianity to compare the teachings of arguably the two most influential individuals who have ever lived.
Bernie Power, who has spent over twenty years working with Muslims in Asia and the Middle East, says that ‘the goal of the book is to open up the lives of Jesus and Muhammad and to present the similarities and differences between them. The reader is encouraged to explore widely and to discover more about these two important personalities and the faiths they have inspired.’
