Three Testaments
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4422-1493-4 (ISBN)
From disagreement over an Islamic Center in New York to clashes between Christians and Muslims in Egypt, tension between the three Abrahamic faiths often runs high. Yet for all their differences, these three traditions—Judaism, Islam, and Christianity—share much in common. Three Testaments brings together for the first time the text of the Torah, the New Testament, and the Quran, so that readers can explore for themselves the connections, as well as the points of departure, between the three faiths.
Notable religion scholars provide accessible introductions to each tradition, and commentary from editor Brian Arthur Brown explores how the three faiths may draw similarities from the ancient Zoroastrian tradition. This powerful book provides a much-needed interfaith perspective on key sacred texts.
Brian Arthur Brown is an independent scholar and a United Church of Canada minister. He is the author of several books, including Noah’s Other Son, and lives in Niagara Falls, Canada. Amir Hussain, professor of theological studies at Loyola Marymount University, presents the foreword. He is the author of several books, including Oil and Water: Two Faiths, One God, and is the editor of the Journal of the American Academy of Religion.
