Trialogue of the Abrahamic Faiths is a collection of academic papers edited by Ismail al-Faruqi. The book was first published in 1982 by the International Institute of Islamic Thought and compiles discussions from a 1979 interfaith conference involving scholars of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The book explores theological, social, and ethical perspectives of the three monotheistic religions, emphasizing commonalities while addressing differences.[1]
Background
The book originates from presentations made at the 1979 annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion in New York City. The event was organized by the Inter-Religious Peace Colloquium, later renamed the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Conference. The discussions focused on reviving interfaith dialogue, inspired by historical exchanges in places like Damascus and Córdoba.[2]
Contents
The book is structured into three thematic sections, each containing papers from scholars of the three faiths.
The Other Faiths
This section explores how each religion perceives the others, focusing on common theological grounds and doctrinal distinctions:
- Islam and Christianity in the Perspective of Judaism: Michael Wyschogrod examines the Jewish understanding of Islam and Christianity, emphasizing monotheism and covenantal theology.
- Judaism and Islam in the Perspective of Christianity: Krister Stendahl analyzes historical Christian perspectives on Islam and Judaism, highlighting the impact of theological misunderstandings.[3]
- Judaism and Christianity in the Perspective of Islam: Muhammad Abdul Ra'uf discusses the Islamic recognition of Jews and Christians as "People of the Book" and the Quranic emphasis on shared moral values.[4]
The Nation State as a Form of Social Organization
This section examines the relationship between religion and governance:
- The Nation State and Social Order in the Perspective of Judaism: Seymour Siegel discusses the Jewish approach to the nation-state, particularly in the context of Israel.[5]
- The Nation State and Social Order in the Perspective of Christianity: John Raines explores Christian traditions of governance, drawing from Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas.[6]
- The Nation State and Social Order in the Perspective of Islam: Isma'il Raji al-Faruqi presents the Islamic view of governance as rooted in ethical leadership and social justice.[7]
The Faith-Community as Transnational Actor for Justice and Peace
This section highlights the global role of faith communities in advocating for justice and social responsibility:
- The Faith Community and World Order in the Perspective of Judaism: Henry Siegman explores the Jewish commitment to ethical values and global justice.[8]
- The Faith Community and World Order in the Perspective of Christianity: James Finn discusses Christianity’s role in peacebuilding and international humanitarian efforts.[9]
- The Faith Community and World Order in the Perspective of Islam: Mahmoud Awan examines how the Islamic ummah engages with global challenges while adhering to Quranic principles.[10]
