Sommario/riassunto

<span><span>In an age where interfaith dialogue has become vitally important, this book examines a shared narrative between the Bible and the Qur'an. Mohammed charts the changes in Muslim exegesis of David's affair with Bathsheba, and in the process presents a new look at the history of the hermeneutical tradition in Islam.</span></span>
