The book is concerned with attaining knowledge of God through revelation, religious experience and the light of reason. It undertakes a comparative study of Christian and Islamic epistemologies in this context. Referring to the views of Christian and Islamic scholars and thinkers right from the ancient times and those of philosophers and others, it examines the principle of trusts and testimony, the idea of the transcendant God, and faith as a category of thought and as a mode of experience. It views the similarities and dissimilarities between Christians and Muslims on the concept of God and the beliefs and modes of acquiring knowledge of the ultimate real. It points out that the quest to know God is a salvation-oriented one, not one that needs to be proved by discursive knowledge.
