Sinossi

Sharing Abraham does not settle the question of religious authority.

In Who Speaks for the God of Abraham?, Frans Hansen compares Christianity, Islam and Judaism through a Torah-first examination of revelation, interpretation and succession.

Each tradition receives its strongest case before rebuttal. The book separates claims from believers and asks what evidence is needed when a later authority appeals to Abraham, Moses and Sinai.

Examine three sets of claims:

  • Christianity: Jesus, resurrection, incarnation, messiahship and apostolic authority.
  • Islam: Muhammad, Qur’anic confirmation, tahrif and the claim to final revelation.
  • Judaism: whether rabbinic authority remains answerable to Sinai rather than simply assuming its legitimacy.

Hansen distinguishes resemblance from succession, interpretation from replacement, and an assertion of authority from proof of that authority.

For readers of comparative religion, Jewish-Christian-Muslim debate and biblical interpretation who want to test competing claims about the God of Abraham.

If Torah speaks first, which claims can establish their authority?
