[PU: New Jersey: Princeton University Press], 408 p. Original paperback. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In very good condition. - Content: Taking the basic texts of the three related — and competitive — religious systems we call Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, F. E. Peters has juxtaposed extensive passages from the texts, along with his own skillful connective commentary, in a topical and parallel arrangement according to the issues that most concerned all these “children of Abraham.” The hardcover edition of the work is bound in one volume, and in the paperback version the identical material is broken down into three smaller but self-contained books. The first, “From Covenant to Community,” includes texts and comments on the covenant and early history ot the Chosen People and their post-Exilic reconstruction; the career and message of the Messiah Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad; the concept of holiness and of a “kingdom of priests”; and, finally, the notions of church and state and the state as a church. The second paperback, “The Word and the Law and the People of God,” discusses the scriptures of the three faiths in various contexts, exegetical and legal. The third paperback, “The Works of the Spirit,” focuses on spirituality and worship and contains material on monasticism, theology, mysticism, and the “End Time.” Throughout the work we hear an amazing variety of voices, some familiar, some not, all of them central to the primary and secondary canons of their own tradition: alongside the scriptural voice of God are the words of theologians, priests, visionaries, lawyers, rulers, and the ruled.
