This collection of essays by a team of international scholars
addresses the topic of Charity through the lenses of the three
Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The
contributors look for common paradigms in the ways the three faiths
address the needs of the poor and the needy in their respective
societies, and reflect on the interrelatedness of such practices
among the three religions. They ask how the three traditions deal
with the distribution of wealth, in the recognition that not all
members of a given society have equal access to it, and in the
relationship of charity to the inheritance systems and family
structures. They reveal systemic patterns that are similar--norms,
virtue, theological validations, exclusionary rules, private
responsibility to society--issues that have implications for
intercultural and interfaith understanding. Conversely, the essays
inquire how the three faiths differ in their understanding of
poverty, wealth, and justifications for charity.
