With creation of the universe as its focus and a deeper
understanding of human freedom as its goal, Freedom and Creation in
Three Traditions is a work of philosophical theology that brings
together Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives on the complex
questions surrounding divine and human freedom. Burrell shows how
the three traditions (each avowing the free creation of the
universe by God) have developed a view of free human actors in
relation to their initial affirmations that the universe is freely
created by God. The concept of a free creation of the universe
forms a motif for all three traditions, and their respective
encounters with divine relation-in the Torah, Jesus Christ, and the
Qur'an-offer distinctive ways of articulating and assimilating the
original faith in a free creator. Burrell emphasizes the common
ground among the traditions, but does not limit his discourse to a
search for a common denominator among them. Instead, he traces the
interactions among the traditions, employing an explicitly
interfaith perspective that offers new ways to probe the vexing
question of the relations between a free creator and free
creatures. The results of this comparative method of reflection
produce fresh insights into perennial human questions about
creation and freedom-questions that have constituted a major body
of theological reflection over the centuries. Aimed at graduates
and advanced undergraduates as well as laypersons interested in
interfaith dialogue and reflection, Freedom and Creation in Three
Traditions illustrates the value of tradition-directed inquiry and
clearly demonstrates the fruitfulness of comparative inquiries in
philosophical theology.
