Includes bibliographical references and index.

The followers of the three major monotheistic faiths Judaism, Christianity, and Islam make up more than half of the worlds population. Each of these religions traces its descent to the patriarch Abraham, who was the first man to completely submit to the will of a single, all-powerful God. Yet despite this shared heritage, there are important differences in the religious beliefs of Muslims, Christians, and Jews. This book provides the historical context in which each of these three important monotheistic religions developed, an overview of the essential beliefs and religious practices expected of each faiths followers, and a discussion of how Jews, Christians, and Muslims have interacted in both the ancient and modern worlds.
