Riassunto

Jews, Christians, Muslims: A Comparative Introduction to Monotheistic Religions compares Judaism, Christianity, and Islam using seven common themes which are equally relevant to each tradition.

Designed to provoke critical thinking, this text addresses the cultural frameworks of religious meanings and explores the similarities and differences among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as it explains the ongoing process of interpretation in each religion. The following themes are covered in each religion:

• Scripture and Tradition
• Monotheism
• Authority
• Worship and Ritual
• Ethics
• Material Culture
• The Political Order
• Gender, Sex and Family

This third edition is fully updated throughout with a new introduction exploring religious diversity, new discussions of gender, sex, and family integrated into previous sections, detailed analysis of religious ethics covering topics such as war, the environment, and capital punishment, discussion of global aspects of monotheism such as missionizing, imperialism, and postcolonialism, and new images and inset text boxes to help guide students and instructors.

The book is an ideal resource for anyone wanting an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Western and World Religions.
