Searching Below the Surface: A Deeper Look at Covenant and Contract

We all want to know how the God of the Bible differs from the Islamic Allah. How does a covenant-keeping God interact in the divine-human relationship? In what ways does a contract-demanding Allah vary from biblical truth? This comparative religious exploration will equip Christians to clarify the difference.

Searching Below the Surface: A Deeper look at Covenant and Contract prepares the reader to present biblical truths by exposing Muslim ideas. The book unearths the often-unseen perspectives of a covenant God called Yahweh and a deity prone to contract, Allah. The book seeks to answer these questions:

• How does Yahweh’s Oneness promote covenant understanding?
• How do Muslims define the Absolute Oneness of Allah?
• How do the Creation accounts in the Bible and Quran reflect theology?
• In what ways does Islam ignore a covenant ethos?
• What are the implications of covenant and contract when applied to marriage?

Since covenant marriage patterns divine oneness in how spouses relate and share sacrificially, this mode of marriage mirrors the character of the biblical God. Marriage in the Bible reflects a relationship found in the divine Godhead and how he interacts with believers.
