In his objective study of
the texts, Maurice Bucaille clears away many preconceived ideas about the Old
Testament, the Gospels and the Qur'an. He tries, in this collection of
Writings, to separate what belongs to Revelation from what is the product of
error or human interpretation. His study sheds new light on the Holy
Scriptures. At the end of a gripping account, he places the Believer before a
point of cardinal importance: the continuity of a Revelation emanating from the
same God, with modes of expression that differ in the course of time. As a
surgeon, Maurice Bucaille has often been in a situation where he was able to
examine not only people's bodies, but their souls. This is how he was struck by
the existence of Muslim piety and by aspects of Islam which remain unknown to
the vast majority of non-Muslims. In his search for explanations which are
otherwise difficult to obtain, he learnt Arabic and studied the Qur'an. In it,
he was surprised to find statements on natural phenomena whose meaning can only
be understood through modern scientific knowledge. He then turned to the
question of the authenticity of the writings that constitute the Holy
Scriptures of the monotheistic religions. Finally, in the case of the Bible, he
proceeded to a confrontation between these writings and scientific data. The
results of his research into the Judeo-Christian Revelation and the Qur'an are
set out in this book.
