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'an. 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.
