Synod: Christianity not a 'Religion of the Book'

I pray, he is just speaking for the RCC.

Because I know that Yah'shua is the Holy Word of Elohim.

Evangelical Christian roger that.

Christianity is not a “religion of the book”. It’s the religion taught, and founded, by a Person, Jesus Christ.

In case you missed it:

“In our language, we shouldn’t fall into the ambivalent expression ‘the three religions of the Book,’” Fisichella said, referring to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Instead, he insisted, Christianity is properly understood as a “religion of the Word.”

I think that sums it up. Frankly, I've never understood why the Muslims get a pass on this, since they accept neither the Book nor the Word...but it seems to be standard to accept Islam as being Biblically based. Just shows you what you can do with the Bible when an independent "prophet" gets hold of it and puts his own gloss on it, I guess.
