                    Battle of the Holy Books
     Islam and Christianity on the Question Is Jesus God?

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -Who is Jesus? Why does he play different roles in different religions? Can he still be the same person, with the same attributes, when his status seems to fluctuate from faith to faith?

         Is Jesus God? (available from 1stbooks Library) delves into the complex and oftentimes confusing world of multi-faith theology. In the words of the author, Sherly Isaac, "This book compares the Bible and the Quran (Islamic scripture) and answers most of the questions asked by Muslims about the deity of Jesus."

        Isaac's findings are unique and worthy of note. According to her research, the Quran confirms Jesus' divinity by referring to him as the "Word of God" and Judge of the world, as these characteristics parallel those of God found in the Bible. Written especially for, "those who are searching for real truth," this book hopes to, "remove the misconception among people who have many different views about 'Jesus' and to present the facts about who 'Jesus' really is."

        However, in addition to addressing the debate over the divinity of Jesus, Isaac's breaks down the central tenets of the Christian faith into easily digestible (understandable) pieces. For example, when addressing the complicated idea of the trinity, Isaac writes that God, "has three personalities - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. And all these three personalities have different functions to perform but they are the same one God just as we have Soul, Mind and Body- three different components but together making one person." Through this and other easilyaccessible metaphors, Isaac's book eloquently expresses her religious convictions.

        Raised in a strict Christian family, Sherly Isaac now resides in Chicago, IL. Although she received her masters degree in Botany, she is currently working as a computer programmer. Is Jesus God? is her first book.
