Produktbeschreibung
Religious debate among Jewish, Christian, and Islamic scholars has acquired urgent new dimensions in recent years. Yet over the course of 1400 years, what have the Abrahamic traditions really learned from each other? Brilliantly demonstrating the ways that Christianity, Islam, and the Judaism have struggled with similarly intractable issues over the centuries, Towards a Jewish-Christian-Muslim Theology offers insightful new pathways for productive theological work, along with deep insights into the topic of faith itself. Burrell uses exercises in 'creative hermeneutics' to show how each tradition struggles with complex issues, and how comparative inquiry illuminates those issues to the benefit of each tradition. For each key topic explored, renowned religious scholar and theologian David B. Burrell shows how intellectual trends of their day may be read to extend the reach of each tradition itself. By illuminating the actual and potential interaction among the dominant monotheistic religions, Towards a Jewish-Christian-Muslim Theology offers inspiration for continued theological dialogue and hope for people of all faiths in the 21st century.

Rezensionen
"For using his considerable intellectual skills in that way, he should be commended and thanked." (International Journal of Systematic Theology, 19 June 2015)

"A new book by David Burrell is always something to look forward to." (Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, 14 November 2014)

"Burrell's work is highly learned ...This is not an easy book, but it is well worth the effort in wrestling with as we attempt to come to our own answers to such vexed questions." (Regent's Reviews, 2012)

"This is a challenging, sensitive, appreciative, deep and broad-minded book." (The Muslim World Book Review, 2012)

"Burrell encourages dialogue between persons - conversations that may foster mutual understanding of such antithetical issues as ways of interpreting Scripture, Scripture as the word of God, Muslim attitudes toward the Christ figure, and Christians relating to a fresh revelation after Christ. [He] concludes that whatever Christians may think about Judaism and Islam, their encounter with Jews and Muslims is what matters. Recommended: Graduate students and above." (Choice, 2011)"The work of a master scholar who has devoted a lifetime ofscholarly, dialogical, and contemplative reflection to these threeinterconnected traditions. Audacious in its breadth, the book alsoaddresses important and urgent issues, ranging from creation andeschatology to providence and grace, and the debates that eventoday continue to divide Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Thislearned and passionate book is a service to all three communities,a helpful reference work for the ongoing dialogue."
--Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Director of the Center forthe Study of World Religions, Harvard University

"Comparative Theology at its best, focusing on fundamentalreligious questions and pointing to ways in which the dialoguebetween religious traditions can both expand and deepen theologicalunderstanding. Skillfully comparing representative thinkers fromthe Jewish, Muslim and Christian traditions and combiningtheological reflection with personal narratives, Burrell sheds newlight on ancient doctrines and offers helpful suggestions fordealing with issues that have long troubled the relationshipbetween the three traditions."
--Catherine Cornille, Boston College

"This book is both the fruit of, and an invitation tohospitality. After decades of welcoming and being welcomed by theJewish and Muslim intellectual traditions, David Burrell challengesChristians, Muslims and Jews to recognize that we share a commonintellectual home; that despite our differences--or rather byexploring them--we will discover a richness that each traditionbrings to the discourse about the one God."
--Daniel A Madigan, SJ, Georgetown University
