At the Feet of Abraham

World Religions

“Theoretically informed and clearly argued, this is a timely and insightful book that anyone who thinks seriously about interreligious dialogue and pluralist coexistence will benefit from reading. At the Feet of Abraham tackles a crucial question of how to flourish with religious diversity. The impact of this fascinating book goes far beyond its focus on Christian-Muslim relations in Nigeria.”

Solomon and the Ant

World Religions

“The Qur’an’s narrative extension of the biblical tradition has been the subject of much scholarly discussion. While most scholars who engage in this field are trained in Qur’anic studies, Penchansky’s training in the Hebrew Bible makes Solomon and the Ant an important and unique contribution. Through a careful analysis of parallel stories in the Bible and the Qur’an, this book demonstrates how the two scriptures share the same cultural milieu, without losing sight of the Qur’an’s theological peculiarity, and it does so with commendable clarity.”
