The Children of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, Islam Paperback - 2018
by Francis Edward Peters; Preface by Francis Edward Peters
From the rear cover
"I know of no more measured and thoughtful historical survey of the formative development of the conjoined tradition of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thought and practice than this one."--William A. Graham, Harvard Divinity School
"The Children of Abrahamis a concise introduction to the work of a scholar who thinks about every aspect of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam 'in triplicate.' This new edition deserves a warm welcome."--Jack Miles, author ofGod: A BiographyandChrist: A Crisis in the Life of God
"For many years this book has occupied a treasured spot on my shelves and I have recommended it countless times. A new, substantially rewritten edition could not be more welcome. There is simply no other volume that presents such broad erudition in a compact, accessible, and beautifully written format."--Jane Dammen McAuliffe, general editor of the Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an
"The Children of Abraham is one of the first synoptic presentations of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that compares the structures of the three religions without asserting the superiority of any one of them. Fully revised, this new edition reflects current scholarship in the field and contains new footnotes and chapter subheads that make it even more user friendly than before. The book will appeal to teachers of comparative religion as well as to historians looking for a concise narrative about Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. The general reader will find it engaging, too."--Mark Cohen, Princeton University
"Peters's prose sparkles. . . . [A]n excellent primer on the foundational beliefs and early development of central themes in the three religions."--Choice
"An excellent introduction to the origin and crucial development of these faiths as well as their similarities and differences."--Ruben C. Mendoza, Reviews in Religion & Theology
