TWO ACCOUNTS, ONE TRUTH

Two books. One Word. One God.

For centuries, Christians and Muslims have read the Bible and the Qur'an as rival witnesses. Two Accounts, One Truth asks a different question: what do these two primary documentary witnesses actually say, side by side, when inherited traditions and human opinions are set aside?
Drawing only on the King James Bible and the original Arabic Qur'an, with each Qur'anic passage given in Arabic alongside a precise literal English rendering, Udo Azogu examines the striking common ground between the two books on one central theme: God putting His Word in Jesus. From Moses' promise of a coming prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15) to "In the beginning was the Word" (John 1:1) and the Qur'an's description of Jesus as God's word cast to Mary (Qur'an 4:171), this study traces a shared witness that is too often overlooked.
Inside, you will explore:
• Jesus as the Word of God in both the Bible and the Qur'an
• Why God's Word is immutable, and why only individuals, not the scriptures themselves, have altered it
• The Word and the Spirit as inherent attributes of the one God
• God breathing His Spirit into man, and the essential role of the Spirit in salvation
• Sonship, the death of Jesus, and other questions where the two accounts meet

Careful, balanced, and grounded in the texts themselves, Two Accounts, One Truth is written to narrow the gap between two great faith traditions and to reduce the friction between their followers. It is for pastors, scholars, students, and every reader who believes truth is worth seeking together.
