<br/><br/>Introduction --  Holy books have a history --  Textual criticism on the Bible and the Qur'an --  Kinds of variants in NT and Qur'an manuscripts --  Comparisons and conclusions from textual criticism --  Conclusion. 
<br/><br/> Holy Books is a new study of textual histories of the New Testament and Qur'an based on study of their earliest available manuscripts. Sanaa manuscripts and the Topkapi Mushaf are just some of the 21 Qur'an manuscripts used in this work. The conclusions verify the reliability of the New Testament and raise serious questions concerning traditional views of the Qur'an text.
