I purchased "The Mystery of Israel in Ancient Egypt: The Exodus in the Qur'an, the Old Testament, Archaeological Finds, and Historical Sources" by Louay Fatoohi on August 22, 2012. I think it is very interesting book. I always like this area of comparison of Bible and the Qur'an texts. They are often compared to each other when Christians and Muslims are discussing different issues. In this case Dr Fatoohi did this alone. He has Christian and Muslim background and astonishing knowledge of Bible and Qur'an.
In my opinion he has only one methodological error. He put Bible and Qur'an against each other, assuming that Bible is corrupted.
According to the Quran,
"There are no changes in God's word and this is the greatest victory" S. 10:64
"There are no changers of the words of God" S. 6:34
"And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),- The Books of Abraham and Moses." S.87:18-19
It means Bible and Qur'an must be read together, they not contradict each other but add more information. When we are reading them from this point of view many things will be more understandable.
Quran itself confirms that Bible is not changed or corrupted as we read in these Suras:
Sura 41:41. Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not hidden from Us). And indeed it is a Book of exalted power.
Sura 41:42. No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.
Sura 15:9. We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
This book is very helpful not only for Muslims but for Christians as well.
I will buy more books of Dr Fatoohi.
