This book argues that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, locked as
they have been over the centuries in many kinds of mutual enmity
and violence, now need to join resources to resist the destructive
economic and political forces now on the loose across the globe,
some of which distrust among these faiths has tended to intensify.
Such a project requires relational practices among the faiths, all
of them based on mutual moral commitments that draw on the
respective communities' scriptural traditions of covenantal
promise-keeping. That is, each tradition has a gift of
responsibility, both to its God and to its people. Mudge wants to
plumb the resources of each of these religions and encourage them
to be responsible in taking these gifts seriously.Such relational
practices are hardly used as resources in interreligious dialogue.
Mudge contends that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are called to
practice moral hospitality and covenantal humanism in order to
foster justice and responsibility in societies around the globe.
