Children of Abraham An Introduction to Judaism for Muslims

Together, this book and its companion, Children of Abraham; An Introduction to Islam for Jews, address the historical, moral, and theological relationship between Judaism and Islam. Firestone (Jewish studies, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion) writes for a Muslim audience, providing a survey of Jewish history and current practices. He pays particular attention to the Jewish understanding of God, the role of the Torah in Jewish thought, and the significance of Israel. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland
