Re: Reader's Report for "Art Thou That Prophet" by Mr. Jason D. Galvan
Please review the reader's report for the above noted manuscript. I recommend it for
publication via our subsidy publishing program.
"Art Thou That Prophet" by Mr. Jason D. Galvan is an astute religious manual. In it, Mr.
Galvan thoroughly explores his Islamic faith, defending Muhammad as the true prophet.
His work is more than just his own deductions, but also includes a multitude of passages
from the Bible and the Qur'an, evidence from secondary sources and experts, as well as
many lessons in the history of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. "A.rt Thou That Prophet"
serves as a spiritual guide, a history lesson, and an intellectual exercise.
The author scrutinizes the Bible for passages in which a prophet is mentioned. He uses
not only the King James Version, but alternate versions as well. Mr. Galvan explains
why he believes the passages cannot logically refer to Jesus. He supports his argument
not only with his own intellectual judgment, but with historical evidence and outside
sources. Though by no means a mean-spirited attack on the Christian faith, Mr. Galvan
does explain why he believes that Islam follows the true teachings of the Bible, and even
those of Jesus, more than Christianity does. For example, the author claims that Jesus
taught that only God should be worshipped. He points out that evangelists focus on
worshiping Jesus.
"Art Thou That Prophet" is obviously a piece intended for a Muslim audience, or at least
an audience considering the Muslim faith. However, because of its many historical
lessons, its in-depth consideration of the Bible, and its elucidation of one of the world's
largest religions, "Art Thou That Prophet" might appeal to a cerebral reader who enjoys
learning. A person interested in current events might also enjoy Mr. Galvan's work, as
the Islamic world weighs heavily in many of today's top news stories.
