This book reflects on one of the most pressing challenges of our
time: the current and historical relationships that exist between
the faith-traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It begins
with discussion on the state of Jewish-Christian relations,
examining antisemitism and the Holocaust, the impact of Israel and
theological controversies such as covenant and mission. Kessler
also traces different biblical stories and figures, from the Hebrew
Bible and the New Testament, demonstrating Jewish-Christian contact
and controversy. Jews and Christians share a sacred text, but more
surprisingly, a common exegetical tradition. They also need to deal
with some of the more problematic and violent biblical texts. Jews,
Christians and Muslims includes reflection on the encounter with
Islam, including topics associated with a divergent history and
memory as well contemporary relations between the three Abrahamic
faiths. Kessler's writings shed light on common purpose as well as
how to manage difference, both vital in forming a positive identity
and sustaining a flourishing community.
