The scientific debates on border crossings and cultural exchange
between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have much increased over
the last decades. Within this context, however, little attention
has been given to the biblical Exodus, which not only plays a
pivotal role in the Abrahamic religions, but also is a master
narrative of a border crossing in itself. Sea and desert are spaces
of liminality and transit in more than just a geographical sense.
Their passage includes a transition to freedom and initiation into
a new divine community, an encounter with God and an entry into the
Age of law. The volume gathers twelve articles written by leading
specialists in Jewish and Islamic Studies, Theology and Literature,
Art and Film history, dedicated to the transitional aspects within
the Exodus narrative. Bringing these studies together, the volume
takes a double approach, one that is both comparative and
intercultural. How do Jewish, Christian and Islamic texts and
images read and retell the various border crossings in the Exodus
story, and on what levels do they interrelate? By raising these
questions the volume aims to contribute to a deeper understanding
of contact points between the various traditions.
