Description: |
As a religious tradition of the 'East', Islam has often been portrayed as 'other' to the Western Traditions of Judaism and Christianity. This work features essays that attempt to bring together both contemporary academic and traditional scholarship on scriptural texts to heal the rift between tradition and the contemporary world. |
Synopsis: |
The unique essays in this collection use the underlying allegiance to scripture in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity to underscore the deep affinities between the three monotheistic traditions while at the same time encouraging respect for the differences between the traditions to be preserved. |
