Resumen del editor
How does the term “Abrahamic religions” shape your idea of three major world religions?
This 21-lecture course uses the shared heritage of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as a springboard for interfaith dialogue. As you progress through the course, you’ll explore the ways in which this conceptual framework promotes peace and understanding while recognizing difference.
Reframing an old idea, the concept of “Abrahamic religions” endeavors to improve Christian--Muslim relations by patterning them after 20th-century Jewish--Christian dialogues.
But Prof. Wilhelmus “Pim” Valkenberg, PhD, notes the tendency for these dialogues to get “too cozy.” He advocates for holding a trialogue instead. In this series, you will begin each discussion by exploring the history of contested relationships among these religious traditions. You will then examine contemporary interreligious endeavors to ameliorate such conflicts. Throughout, you will gain important insights into the commonalities, differences, and opportunities for improved understanding among these three religions.
Today, attitudes toward the shared relationship to Abraham among Christians, Jews, and Muslims is much more positive than in earlier times. As your guide to this sensitive subject, Prof. Valkenberg sets a calm and measured example. You’ll come away with a sophisticated and nuanced perspective of the “family resemblances” among Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
As Abraham was called by God, so as children of Abraham are Christians, Jews, and Muslims called to cooperate for the good of humankind.

Reseñas de la crítica
"Prof. Valkenberg is a gifted scholar/teacher who has brought to Christian-Muslim relations a rare depth of critical insight, a palpable generosity of spirit, and a refreshing sense of passion for the pursuit of truth, justice, and compassion in dialogue." (Scott C. Alexander, PhD, Professor of Islamic Studies & Christian-Muslim Relations, Catholic Theological Union)
"Pim Valkenberg is a respected Catholic theologian, well-grounded in tradition and contemporary theology. He has also, very importantly, cultivated over the years a deep commitment to comparative theological studies, with particular interest in Islam in both its classical and contemporary forms. He is, therefore, very well placed to draw Islamic theology and practice into Catholic theological reflection, in a way that does justice to both Islam and the Catholic tradition. He shows us persuasively how a Christian commitment is perfectly compatible with learning deeply from another religious tradition. An added virtue of his work is that this Dutch-born scholar knows well both the American and European worlds of theological studies." (Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Parkman Professor of Divinity, Harvard University)
