Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of live dialogue between representatives of Judaism, Christianity and Islam - the Abrahamic faiths of historical revelation - and is the fruit of twenty years of pioneering interfaith work by The Academy for Judaic, Christian, and Islamic Studies. The participants exchanged views on the significance of Abraham and the founding figures of each faith (Moses, Jesus and Muhammad); examined how the three religions are connected; compared ideas on the nature of revelation, scripture, law and grace; explored the meaning of peoplehood in each community and - in the final section - reflected on how they had been affected by the dialogues.
