Biblical Figures in the Islamic Faith

By: Stephen J. Vicchio

Vicchio believes that by understanding how much Muslim tradition overlaps with the biblical traditions of Judaism and Christianity, we might begin to expose a wedge of common ground on which understanding and respect might begin to be built. Vicchio begins with a brief introduction sketching some fundamentals of Muslim history and culture, and clearing away some common misconceptions. His main goal, however, is to give us a detailed look at the treatment of biblical figures in the literature of Islam. The broad range of his research and presentation is startling. He begins with the Qur'an but continues on to the collected writing of the roughly two hundred years after Mohammed (Hadith, Sunnah, Akhbar) that came to be regarded as authoritative in the various traditions that developed in early Islam. He then traces the interest in these biblical figures on into modern treatments of the role of these figures in Muslim scholarship and how these figures are understood and used in the traditions of Islam yet today. The result of Vicchio's scholarship and presentation will be a revelation to most Christian and Jewish readers. It has become somewhat commonplace to refer to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as the three Abrahamic faiths. This shows a beginning awareness of the beginnings of each of these three great religions, birthed in the Middle East, in a common ancestor, Abraham (Ibrahim). Abraham's faithfulness and his closeness to God make his a revered figure in each of these three great faiths, and for each Abraham is a beginning of the story of the particular relationship between God and the people of each of these religions. --from the Foreword

Nevada Real Estate License Exam Prep

All-in-One Review and Testing to Pass Nevada's Pearson Vue Real Estate Exam

By: Stephen Mettling,David Cusic,Ryan Mettling,Ben Scheible

Features of Nevada Real Estate License Exam Prep (NV-RELEP): National Principles & Law Key Point Review (60 pages) Real Estate Math Key Formula Review & Practice (20 pages) Nevada-Specific Laws and Regulations Key Point Review (22 pages) National Practice Tests (500 questions) Nevada Practice Tests (140 questions) Nevada Simulation Exam (100 questions) We know the real estate licensing exam can be tough, and very nerve-wracking to prepare for. That’s why we created the Nevada Real Estate License Exam Prep (NV-RELEP) the way we did. Since we have been managing real estate schools and developing curriculum for forty years, we know how all this works – or fails to work. NV-RELEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. And the text review is Nevada-specific – not just simplistic national content, but terse, relevant and accurate Nevada laws and regulations presented as a well-organized set of state ‘key point reviews’ ideal for pre-test memorization. But let’s not dismiss the importance of the national content either. NV-RELEP’s national key point reviews are a succinct compression of tested national principles and practices that comprise the national portion of state license exams from coast to coast. Our content is drawn from our own national textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice – one of the most widely used principles textbooks in the country. Finally, our national content, as well as our question selection, is further tailored to the state testing outline promulgated by Pearson Vue for Nevada. Thus the breadth and depth of the law reviews and test questions reflect the topic emphasis of your state’s testing service and your Nevada license exam. A word about the test questions… NV-RELEP’s testing practice section consists of ten national practice tests, three state practice tests, and one state exam simulation test. The practice tests are roughly 50 questions in length and the simulation test is 100 questions. The test questions are designed to cover the content covered by the law reviews – which reinforces your learning of the total body of information tested by your state exam. The questions are direct, to the point, and designed to test your understanding. When you have completed a given test, you can check your answers against the answer key in the appendix. You may also note that each question’s answer is accompanied by a brief explanation, or “rationale” to further reinforce your understanding. In the end, as you know, it’s all up to you. Unlike other publications, we are not going to tell you that using this book will guarantee that you pass your state exam. It still takes hard work and study to pass. But we have done our best here to get you ready. Following that, the most we can do is wish you the best of success in taking and passing your Nevada real estate exam. So good luck!! For students looking for a comprehensive prelicense textbook for Nevada, we also publish Principles of Real Estate Practice in Nevada.
