Publisher's Synopsis
This set contains six facsimiles from our imprints T&T Clark, The Athlone Press, Sheffield Academic Press and Continuum and focuses on comparing the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The volumes in this collection compare the different religions based on their prophets, their teachings and cultural influence, but also in how they face the challenge of an increasingly secular world. They are concerned with the similarities between the religions they discuss rather than their differences, hence supporting the view that religions should not be pitted against each other but instead be understood as faiths favouring understanding and togetherness. All titles are available as set or as individual volumes. Titles include: Calling Time: Religion and Change at the Turn of the Millennium by Martyn Percy Muhammad and Jesus: A Comparison of the Prophets and Their Teachings by William E. Phipps Mystical Union in Judaism, Christianity and Islam: An Ecumenical Dialogue by Moshe Idel and Bernard McGinn The Privilege of Man: A Theme in Judaism, Islam and Christianity by Kenneth Cragg Theology in Global Context: Essays in Honor of Robert Cummings Neville by Amos Yong and Peter G. Heltzel Turning Points in Religious Studies: Essays in Honour of Geoffrey Parrinder by Ursula King
