There are connections among the great revealed religions.

"People often say that religions are fundamentally the same and superficially different. May I reverse that for you and tell you that religions are fundamentally different and at times superficially similar. If I am asked what separates Christianity from other religions, or “what’s different about Christianity, aren’t all religions the same when you get down to it,” one of the first things that I would say is bound up in one beautiful word: forgiveness."

-Ravi Zacharias

Not even near what I meant ~ you are aware, of course, that Ma-Nu (Noah) is a common figure in Hinduism and Islam, and the "Great Fish" is shared by Christians and Jews, and by Hindus as well, and not just as an image, but also as a teaching tool.

The Book of Proverbs certainly found a home in many other sacred texts.

This did not happen by accident.
