Contents:
The covenant: from Israelite to Jew -- The good news of Jesus -- Muhammad the prophet of God -- A kingdom of priests -- Orthodoxy and heresy -- Community and authority -- Church and state: popes, patriarchs, and emperors -- The church as the state: the Islamic community.
Summary: The world's three great monotheistic religions have spent most of their historical careers in conflict or competition with each other. And yet in fact they sprung from the same spiritual roots and have been nurtured in the same historical soil. This book--an extraordinarily comprehensive and approachable comparative introduction to these religions--seeks not so much to demonstrate the truth of this thesis as to illustrate it. Frank Peters, one of the world's foremost experts on the monotheistic faiths, takes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and after briefly tracing the roots of each, places.
