Preface This little volume which acquaints us with Human Values in Christianity and in Islam have been prepared by erudite scholars like Dr. Placid Rodriguez and Prof. Yejasuddin respectively. It is indeed difficult to bring the import of the holy classics to the common man and more importantly to the young in such a lucid style and simple language. I gratefully thank the learned authors and also the high profile scholars like Maulvi Jeelani Saheb and Dr. Thomas Manickam who have favoured the Gandhi Centre with succint and meaningful introductions to the two sections of the volume.

Foreword Reading the chapter of Dr. Placid Rodriguez titled Human Values in Christian Literature was an extremely exciting experience. In the context of a comparative understanding of the various values and value- systems, the paper of Dr. Rodriguez is an excellent contribution to the areas of Comparative religion, ethics, philosophy and related socio-economic and scientific information. Obviously everybody may be interested to read this lucid and comprehensive presentation of Human Values from a wider Christian Perspective.
