- Explores the development of the three Abrahamic traditions, brilliantly showing the way in which they have struggled with similar issues over the centuries
- Shows how the approach of each tradition can be used comparatively by the other traditions to illuminate and develop their own thinking
- Written by a renowned writer in philosophical theology, widely acclaimed for his comparative thinking on Jewish and Islamic theology
- A very timely book which moves forward the discussion at a period of intense inter-religious dialogue <
“For using his considerable intellectual skills in that way, he should be commended and thanked.” (International Journal of Systematic Theology, 19 June 2015)
“A new book by David Burrell is always something to look forward to.” (Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations, 14 November 2014)
"Burrell’s work is highly learned ...This is not an easy book, but it is well worth the effort in wrestling with as we attempt to come to our own answers to such vexed questions.” (Regent’s Reviews, 2012)
“This is a challenging, sensitive, appreciative, deep and broad-minded book.” (The Muslim World Book Review, 2012)
“Burrell encourages dialogue between persons – conversations that may foster mutual understanding of such antithetical issues as ways of interpreting Scripture, Scripture as the word of God, Muslim attitudes toward the Christ figure, and Christians relating to a fresh revelation after Christ. [He] concludes that whatever Christians may think about Judaism and Islam, their encounter with Jews and Muslims is what matters. Recommended: Graduate students and above." (Choice, 2011)
