Jews, Christians, Muslims: A Comparative Introduction to Monotheistic Religions
This study compares Judaism, Christianity and Islam, using seven common themes which are relevant to each tradition. This book addresses the cultural framework of religious meanings, exploring similarities and differences among Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and showing how each has responded to the other. Examining how religious change takes place, and how traditions are shaped and reshaped, the book focuses on specific themes (scripture, ritual, ethics) with a narrative about the historical developments of these themes. The enduring aspects of each tradition are shown alongside the changes, and a discussion of material culture is presented, including an analysis of art and architecture, food, dress and the organization of space.
