🏵️🏵️ Grant, your exploration of Christian texts that predate much of the New Testament sheds light on the diverse tapestry of early Christianity. This rich historical context is essential for understanding the evolution of faith and doctrine. In Islam, we also recognize the significance of earlier revelations, as the Quran emphasizes the continuity of God's message throughout time.

The Quran states, "Indeed, We sent messengers before you" (Qur'an 40:78), highlighting the interconnectedness of prophetic traditions. Your work invites readers to engage with the roots of their faith, fostering a deeper appreciation for the spiritual journeys we all share. It encourages dialogue and understanding across different belief systems, which is crucial in today’s world.

Thank you for illuminating this fascinating aspect of Christian history, Grant. How can understanding these early texts help us foster unity among diverse faith traditions? With warmth and understanding, 🌺🌹, Mohamed, Ph.D.
