Synopsis

The question remains: Why can't we all just get along?Violence pours into our lives everyday through the media from around the world and in our neighborhoods. Religion, which should be a source of peace, is often right at the center of this violence. And the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are engaged in complex relations of reciprocity and recrimination.

In this volatile climate, a Muslim doctor, Ejaz Naqvi, writes as a champion for seeing the Three Testaments―the Torah, the New Testament, and the Qur'an―as sources of peace for all humanity. A healer by profession, Dr. Naqvi shows how the Three Abrahamic Testaments share major values and beliefs (oneness of God, the golden rule) while not diminishing differences between the three faiths. His message is simple: You don't have to be wrong for me to be right.

Ejaz Naqvi, MD is the immediate past president of Islamic Center of Zahra in Pleasanton, CA, and has been lecturing on Islam around the country. He serves on the executive board of the Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County, California and is actively engaged in interfaith work.

A practicing physician and a "born-again Muslim" after reading the Quranic translation for the first time in its entirety about two decades ago, he has since then pondered over the verses of the Quran and discovered that many of its teachings remain arcane. Eager and in search of finding the common grounds, his subsequent study of the Quran and the Bible has led him to finding significant similarities in the teachings of the Scriptures, which he shares in this book.

Ejaz Naqvi is chief of Chronic Pain Program and Director of Graduate Medical Education at Kaiser Permanente in the San Francisco East Bay area. He lives in Walnut Creek, CA.
