Caroline, This book reminds of a similar title — The Bible Came from Arabia by Kamal Salibi, published in 1985. The catalogue record has many subject headings, but none mentioning controversial works or Anti-Jewish works. Unless it’s polemical and makes disparaging remarks about Jews, the heading anti-Jewish works isn’t justified. Neither is Bible — Controversial works for that matter. IMO. But I haven’t seen the book. Best wishes, Barry
