<p>“A gem of a book that no student of Abrahamic faiths in general or of Islam in particular can afford to miss. <i>God and Creation</i> marks a major contribution to comparative religious thought as well as to the doctrine of divine creation in the monotheistic traditions. . . . One fervently hopes that this remarkable book soon becomes available as a paperback so that it can reach the hands of eager students instead of collecting dust on the bookshelves of wearied specialists.” —<i>Muslim World Book Review</i></p>
<p><i>"God and Creation </i>is an important contribution to comparative religious thought in general and to serious theological reflection on the doctrine of divine creation in Judaism, Christianity and Islam in particular." —Temple University</p>
<p>"The doctrine of creation is the issue under consideration in <i>God and Creation</i>, the collection of papers and responses originally delivered at a symposium held at the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame in 1987. The symposium aims at, and to a remarkable extent, succeeds in fostering conversation between the three great Western traditions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, on some ways in which the doctrine of creation has functioned in each." —<i>America</i></p>
