[Faith-talk] diet and faith

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,

I’m in a world  literature class and we have read some religious texts including exerpts of the Quran, Bible, and Hindu text.

I need to compare the dietary restrictions of Leviticus vs the Quran which is in Surat 5.

So can anyone recommend an online study Bible which might explain some history or a historic commentary of it? BTW chapter 11 of leviticus is the kosher laws I’m reviewing.

Also, we have one or more Muslims here. Please help me understand your perspective.
Why don’t you eat pork? Was the pig a symbol of something bad when the Qur’an was written?


Thanks.

Ashley
