Jacques Jomier, O.P., served for many years as a missionary in the Middle East, gaining a unique inside view of the Muslim world. He was among the first to provide commentary on modern translations of the Qur'an, contributing greatly to the study of Islam.
Jomier carefully presents what the Qur'an teaches about the Hebrew
and Christian bible. He contrasts the essential Muslim teachings
with the Jewish and Christian understandings of themselves. Jomier
is both sympathetic and critical. This is an excellent text in
which to understand just what Islam means when it talks of Jewish
or Christian sources in the light of its own traditions.
