ABOUT THIS BOOK: If Moses Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad were to meet what would they tell one another about Judaism Christianity and Islam Three of today's leading scholars explore the topics such a conversation might entail in this comparative study of the three monotheistic faiths. In systematic side-by-side descriptions they detail the classical theologies of Judaism Christianity and Islam and the authoritative writings that convey those theologies-Torah Bible and Qur' n. They then compare and contrast the three faiths which though distinct and autonomous address a common set of issues. While asserting that this book is by no means a background source for issues and conflicts among contemporary followers of Judaism Christianity and Islam the authors nevertheless aspire to reveal among the three a common potential for mutual understanding.
