Produktbeschreibung

Genesis is the book of beginnings; and creation begins with light. Most religious people live with shuttered windows, receiving light only from their own people and their own tradition. Genesis 1-11 calls us to recognize all peoples as created by God and under the rainbow covenant of his light. This commentary opens windows on seeds of truth from Genesis 1-11 which are planted in the various environments "in front of the text" - including the New Testament, rabbinic tradition, the Qur'an, and Bangladeshi culture. It examines those seeds in their original seedbed, discerning how their truths will unfurl from the fragrant Genesis 1-11 bud of theology through the blessings given to Eve, Noah, and Abraham. Windows on the Text is a ground-breaking Bible commentary series written by followers of Jesus in Muslim contexts. It develops biblical insight in deliberate conversation with the Qur'an, the Hadith, and local Islamic cultures. Confi dent that the Bible in its entirety speaks directly into Muslim contexts, it opens new windows into the holy word of God to equip and empower believers to live out their faith in loving service and clear communication within their communities.

Autorenporträt

ANWARUL AZAD was, until his death from COVID-19 in 2020, the Academic Dean of the Institute for Classical Languages Dhaka, Bangladesh. He was, in his own words, a "rebel poet" in Bangladesh's fight for freedom in 1971, who emerged from war and famine with a commitment to making the world a better place for future generations. He found peace and justice in Jesus the Messiah, and went on to become a Bible scholar, teacher, and translator. He had an MA in History from National University, Bangladesh.
