Jews, Christians, Muslims

"This updated and expanded edition stands out as an accessible introduction to the various expressions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that is attentive to the complexity associated with their development and impact. The comparative format fosters myriad fruitful insights regarding areas of similarity and divergence between these Western monotheistic traditions and underscores the impossibility of understanding each in isolation. Thoughtfully organized and engaging, the text is a gift to students and instructors alike!"

- Joseph Williams, Rutgers University

"This volume offers a serious and sophisticated treatment of the sometimes overlapping and sometimes competing sacred stories and traditions of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It is a rare gem — an introductory text that is both accessible and intellectually stimulating to a wide range of readers."

- Tammy Heise, Ph.D., Associate Professor of American Religions, University of Wyoming

"Despite their profound differences, the Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—share much in common. No other introduction does a better job of showing where they diverge and converge while also exploring each tradition’s internal diversity. The new material in this edition on contemporary moral issues is especially helpful. This book is a treasure for students or for any interested reader."
