Book Synopsis

The three Abrahamic traditions have a long history of clashes, often with disastrous results. This book offers an alternative to those who see only a future like the past: of increasing friction and violence.

Three of the most respected figures representing Catholic Christianity, Judaism, and Islam-Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, Professor Reuven Firestone, and Professor Mahmoud Ayoub-show that collaboration can work, that it is possible to foster mutual understanding and appreciation of the different traditions in practical ways.
