Simple request a cousin of mines is looking for a book on comparative religons, mainly on the relationship berween Islam and Christinaity from a theological perspective.
She was interested on 'Muhammad in the Bible' by Rev. David Benjamin Keldani
But unfotuantley its a limited edition book which was published in 1954.And avilibility is highly unlikely.
So can any recommendation for alternative books would be highly appreciated.
