This book was first published by the author in the German language and proved to be very helpful for the dialogue between Muslims, Christians and Jews. It contains a number of Biblical quotations of particular interest wherever these three religions meet and though being only a small section, it is quite sufficient to guide all those towards the truth who really long to find.

We will in the following quote from the ‘Revised Standard Version’ of the Bible published for the ‘ British & Foreign Bible Society ‘ in 1952 by the ‘Division of Christian Education of the churches of Christ in, the United states of America’; the citations are emphasized by the author. There may be differences regarding the wording or numbering of verses in other Bible editions. This is not at all astonishing as there is no authentic original of Biblical scripture. Today’s versions are mainly translated from Greek or Latin. Even the Hebrew text is, part from a few exceptions, re-translated from Greek, and cannot serve as useful basis for testing the authenticity of biblical reports. Many Christian scholars have so far admitted that the original texts are no more available, and that today’s version is founded on thousands of different copies, no two of which are the same.

The introduction to this book will firstly touch the possible extent to which Muslims can make use of biblical quotations. The following, explained quotations from biblical passages mainly cover the themes mentioned below:

• Prophecies about the seal of prophethood, Muhammed - peace be upon him
• Food Prescriptions
• The harmfulness of consuming alcohol
• Polygamy
• Interest
• The claim of sonship to God
• The claim of Jesus' crucification
• The unreliability of Biblical Transmission

The clear statements of the Qur’an will be considered in each case.
