A Muslim and a Christian have made a new translation of the Quran to underline the similarities between their two religions.
The authors, who are also friends, said they hoped the text would provide “a tool of reconciliation” between Christians and Muslims.
Some 3,000 parallels between the Bible and Quran are demonstrated in the book, which has a split-page format. [...]
Mr Kaskas started the project with Dr David Hungerford, a Christian, 10 years ago. The book is part of a project by Bridges to Common Ground, an organisation that aims to reduce Islamophobic attitudes among Christians.
Dr Hungerford said: “We hope this translation will lead people to understand that while there are differences between Islam and Christianity, there is also a tremendous bridge between Muslims and Christians."
