Divine Way to Succeed in Life"the way of those on whom You (Allah) have bestowed Your Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray." (Surah Al-Fatihah 1: 7).God created people, gave them wisdom, free will, and guidance, and appointed each one of them, male or female, rich or poor, to be His trustee (if they will so) on earth and to serve Him by implementing His commands in managing their affairs, in order to build a just human society in this world. The Qur'an has been revealed for the guidance of humanity. It contains the instructions, which if followed will help people to establish a prosperous and peaceful human society based on justice and mutual respect. Life in this world is a test so that people may prove who can utilize one's life to its best purpose and potential. This requires that one should know one's duties and should live accordingly to the divine laws. God has provided the required guidance for the fulfillment of one's duties as God's trustee on earth. This guidance has been given within the human gene in the form of human conscience, and it has been taught and implemented by His messengers who lived their lives as human role models. The commands given in the Qur'an encompass all moral, economic, and socio-political areas of human activity that are required to be implemented to develop and protect human character and society. Before implementation, one must know what is required. This can be learned from the Qur'an.

This volume of the Building Bridges Seminar, Power: Divine and Human, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, comprises pairs of essays by Christians and Muslims which introduce texts for dialogical study, plus the actual text-excerpts themselves. This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power: Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure, it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.

In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.
