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.
