"Biblical ethics and eloquence reached a pinnacle with the great "writing" Prophets. Prophethood has also been central to Islam. Muhammad, its final messenger, is coupled with Allah in the Islamic faith, through confession or Shahadah. Is it proper, or feasible, to bring these two realms together, separated as they are by more than ten centuries? Many in each community of faith would disapprove.
Yet there are clear common denominators - the central role of personality; the mystery of language and inspiration; the bearing of circumstance and situation, and, through all these, the incidence of suffering."--BOOK JACKET. "The Weight in the Word attempts to explore an alignment of Prophethood in the Bible and in Islam in one denominator, against the odds of mutual alienation."--BOOK JACKET.
