Mention of books of Abraham and Moses in Quran

[boblloyd91]

So I was reading a paper by Margaret Barker, and she mentioned that the Quran talks about the lost Books of Moses and Abraham. More searching led to me finding some information on Wikipedia about these books being mentioned by the Quran but the belief that these books are lost. I didn't know this. Does anyone have any more information about this?

You are referring to the Taurat Musa "the Law of Moses," which is the Pentateuch, and to some unknown Scrolls of Ibrahim "Book of Abraham."  Not sure what the latter refers to, but the concept is interesting.

Several books of Moses were produced in late Antiquity, but they are mostly collections of names of ritual power (eschewing the pejorative term magic).

Bob your profile picture creeps me out. It looks like a deformed Mr Saturn from the video game Earthbound.
