The Bible, The Quran And Science

Maurice Bucaille clears away many preconceived ideas about the Old Testament, the Gospels, and the Qur’an through an objective study of the texts. He aims to distinguish between what belongs to Revelation and what results from error or human interpretation, shedding new light on the Holy Scriptures. The book discusses the continuity of expressions across time, prompting reflections on factors that could spiritually unite Jews, Christians, and Muslims. As a surgeon, Bucaille was able to examine both bodies and souls, developing an interest in Muslim piety and aspects of Islam that remain largely unknown to non-Muslims. He learned Arabic and studied the Qur’an, discovering statements about natural phenomena that align with modern scientific knowledge. He investigates the authenticity of the texts that form the Holy Scriptures of monotheistic religions and compares these writings with scientific data, focusing on the Judeo-Christian Revelation and the Qur’an. The content is divided into four parts: the Old Testament, the Gospels, the Qur’an and modern science, and Qur’anic and Biblical narrations, covering topics from the books of the Old Testament to scientific insights in the Qur’an and biblical stories like the Flood and the Exodus.
