Unholy Dilemma 3 – A Search for logic in the Qur’an is a book which deals with the claims, admonitions, scientific errors, conflations, and absurdities that are found in the Islamic Holy Writ. Various Surahs and Ayahs (chapter and verse) are quoted and then examined for clarity of thought and divine inspiration and revelation. As a by-product of the book, the Old and New Testaments are compared to the Qur’an and where noted, the obvious plagiarism of these more ancient documents is noted.

Many theologians, Bible scholars, and others have written commentaries on the Old Testament. And almost without exception, they have attempted to explain the intent and spiritual implications represented by the conflicting statements of the ancient writers without taking issue with the content itself. Unholy Dilemma: A Search for Logic in the Old Testament departs from the approach of presuming to divine what the ancient writers meant to say, and merely examines what they actually did say.

Unholy Dilemma 2, a search for logic in the New Testament, was not written to either bolster or undermine one’s faith. Nor is it intended to trash the Bible per se.

The Bible is a book like any other book, i.e., a set number of handwritten or printed pages, sewn, stapled, or glued together on one side and bound in a protective cover. The word “Bible” comes from the Greek word biblia, which means “book.”
