Summary:
"The world today is only too painfully aware of the tension,
suspicion and at times outright hostility that exists among followers
of the three great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity
and Islam. In Abraham's Children distinguished scholars from all
three faiths examine the key issues which either unite or divide
Jews, Christians and Muslims today and offer constructive suggestions
for developing mutual understanding, trust and co-operation. Part
One, Foundations of Faith, explores the significance of Abraham,
Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Part Two, Resources for the Modern World,
deals with such diverse topics as the image of God in humanity,
religion and pluralism, gender, the environment and life after death.
Each section is followed by a chapter identifying areas of common
ground, as well as continuing differences and questions needing
further exploration." -- Publisher's website.
