The Central Ohio Abrahamic encounter / Scripture and community / On scripture and its exegesis : the Abraham-Ishmael stories in the Torah and the Qur'an / Mary, mother of Jesus, in Christian and Islamic traditions / Jesus in the Qur'an : some similarities and differences with the New Testament / People of the book : potential uniting themes and barriers to unifying dialogue / Historical perspectives on Christian-Muslim relations / Historical perspectives on Jewish-Muslim relations / A historical perspective on Jewish-Muslim relations / Muslims and Jews in America / Jewish and Muslim perspectives on intermarriage and gender roles / The moral obligation of Muslim-Jewish relations / Christians as a majority in the United States / American Christians and their Abrahamic neighbors / Paul D. Numrich -- Tamar Frank -- Reuven Firestone -- R. Marston Speight -- Muzammil H. Siddiqi -- Jamal A. Badawi -- Marilyn Robinson Waldman -- Marilyn Robinson Waldman -- Reuven Firestone -- Sayyid M. Syeed -- Nancy Heiden, Fatima Agha Al-Hayani, Batya Steinlauf, and Asma Mobin-Uddin -- Walter Ruby -- Thomas Templeton Taylor -- Paul D. Numrich.
In these times of increasingly contentious politics and uncivil discourse in the United States, the ongoing encounter of adherents of the Abrahamic faiths in the American heartland offers a model of positive interfaith relations. Edited by a Muslim, a Jew, and a Christian, this volume describes the three goals of the Central Ohio Abrahamic encounter: Enhancing mutual understanding and relationships, disseminating accurate information about the three major Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), and contributing to the general betterment of society. Here is a local story that can inform--even inspire--other communities across the country and around the globe. Topics include beliefs, scripture and interpretation, historical illustrations and legacies, contemporary challenges and possibilities, and group dynamics, especially majority-minority relationships among American Christians, Jews, and Muslims. This volume will appeal to the growing audience for interfaith resources. The inclusion of several essays by noted religious scholars and leaders, chosen for their significance to the Central Ohio Abrahamic encounter, sets this volume apart from other publications on local initiatives. It is well suited for individual or group study in churches, synagogues, mosques, and interfaith organizations, and can be assigned for undergraduate and graduate/seminary courses on Abrahamic relations or interfaith relations generally.
