Experiencing Scripture in World Religions Professor Harold Coward

In contrast to books dealing with doctrines about the nature and authority of scripture in world religions, these essays gathered by Harold Coward offer an account of how devotees experience the scriptures. Followers of the Jewish, Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist Ways tell how scripture plays a role in their lives. The Jew, for example, "lives in Torah"; the Muslim "in the Qur'an"; while the Sikh finds the Adi Granth to be a living guru; and the Buddhist finds in the Sayings not divine truth but a "provisional guide to enlightenment".
