Praise for this book
Many books deal with the tension and
hostility among the devotees of the three Abrahamic religions by finding
(or inventing) common areas of social concern. This book goes to the heart
of the problem and discovers the core beliefs which link all three faiths.
It offers a valuable contribution and makes a new kind of dialogue possible.
~ John C. Dwyer, Professor of Theology and Scripture St. Bernard’s
School of Theology and Ministry
This is a subject whose time has come.
As committed as we all may be to the tradition in which we serve and know
God, we can remain loyal without remaining isolated. Peace among and between
faiths cannot be birthed in isolation. Dr. Lewis- Elgidely points us toward
koinonia and has me asking again with Christ, “Who is my neighbor?”
~The Rev. Dr. Donna J. Arnold Episcopal Priest of the Diocese of Albany
Dr. Lewis-Elgidely points out the most
profound truth which the whole world is in desperate need of: “Ahavat
Olam,” God’s eternal love for all the people of this earth. This is an
important and deep work which can bring the three Abrahamic faiths to
peace and unity.
~Rabbi Monte R. Sugarman Synagogue Without Walls, New York
