Description: The Mystery of Israel in Ancient Egypt by Louay Fatoohi A comparative study of the exodus in the Quran and the Old Testament with reference to historical sources. The book contrasts the problematic Biblical narrative with the Quranic account. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Few events in history have fascinated the layperson and the scholar as much as the exodus of the Israelites from ancient Egypt. This phenomenal interest has led to extensive research into scriptural, historical, and archaeological sources. The Quran, however, has been completely ignored by Western researchers because of the faith put in the Biblical narrative and the prejudiced view that the Qurans account is based on Jewish sources, including the Bible.This book examines in detail the Biblical narrative of the exodus, concluding that it contains a substantial amount of historically inaccurate and false information. It also shows that the similarities between the Quranic exodus and its Biblical counterpart are very limited and the differences between the two scriptures are much greater in number and detail. Particularly significant is the fact that the Quran is free of the erroneous and inaccurate Biblical statements that have contributed to the rejection of the historicity of the exodus by many scholars. The book demonstrates that the Quranic account is consistent with what we know today from archaeological finds and historical sources. This pioneering study is an attempt to create what might be called "Quranic archaeology."Detailed but easy to read, this book is intended for both the general reader and the expert. Informative and thought-provoking, this study is for those with an interest in the exodus in scripture, archaeological finds, and historical sources; comparative studies of the Quran and the Bible; and modern Quranic exegesis. No specialist knowledge is required to read the book.This detailed analysis of the exodus of Israel from ancient Egypt in scriptural and historical sources includes: - The Israelites in ancient Egypt- The Quranic and Biblical accounts of the exodus- Historical problems in the Biblical narrative- The exodus in archaeological finds- The exodus in historical sources- Identifying the Pharaoh of the exodus Author Biography Louay Fatoohi was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1961.
