Comments for F.E.Peters http://fepeters.com Some very straight talk about those fractious siblings, Judaism, Christianity and Islam...but caveat lector: all the memoirs are highly suspect.

I promise I would choose the cultural sites over the shopping, but I might take a photo of the empty ocean where the Titanic sank. I also think I own a pair of orange capris... oops! I searched out your site because I recently listened to your Modern Scholar lectures series titled "The Quest", and found it fascinating. I am a Christian, what some would term fundamentalist because I do believe in the inerrancy of the Bible and the need to stay as close to its teachings as possible in living my daily life. However, I also seek to learn how man's studies and ponderings can illuminate Biblical teachings, times and peoples, as well as support (or not) its historical content and claims about itself. I'm interested as well in learning more about Islam, given its impact in the world both in historical and modern times. I'm looking forward to delving more into your site and investigating your books as well. Thank you for sharing your scholarship and musings on life!

Your writing gives one a way of seeing the men of the scripture and the way of the people with another perspective. As we've lived in times so busy and full of people so we read with the same vision, we travel with groups and never visualize the simplicity. I do enjoy your wonderful sense of humor and sense of humanity. Okra is delicious and i learned to love it from my German-"American" ;~) grandmother. “on the road to Damascus”.
