Publisher's Summary

This book seeks to provide a guided examination of what unites and divides the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic communities. With over 25 years of experience teaching in the subject area, Dr. Fritz Wenisch begins to unravel this complex and often contentious topic by first discussing the legal injunctions applying to religious studies courses at secular U.S. universities. He investigates the type of monotheism each religion shares before providing an in-depth overview of each religion, one by one. An emphasis is placed on the specific teachings of each religion, with consideration given to their practices and their historical development.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: Differences, Commonalities, and Community argues that the hostility between the three religions is misplaced. The argument is grounded on the existence of a shared belief in the same one and only God and reverently looking back to Abraham, as well as the fact that disagreements do not result from ill will, but from alternative convictions held in good faith. Listeners will learn that tolerance, while a start, does not suffice; rather, that shared basic beliefs should give rise to mutual appreciation, leading to genuine friendship.

Fantastic

I like the way it's written - the professor, classroom, friends etc

I liked the distinct focus on all three religions- what they have in common and then in depth description of each faith.

I like the authors objectivity (for the most part)- 'The fox principle'

Not much I disliked.

As a Muslim, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the other Abrahamic faiths and I really enjoyed the promotion of tolerance.

I am certainly with the author and hope to add my candle to add to those who have already... one day we will be a nation of tolerance - by Gods Will.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
