Strangers, Neighbors, Friends: Muslim-Christian-Jewish Reflections on Compassion and Peace
Ebook
Overview
From 9/11 to Israel-Palestine to ISIS, the fear of the religious stranger is palpable. Conservative talk show hosts and liberal public intellectuals are united in blaming religion, usually Islam, for the world’s instability. If religion is part of the problem, it can and should be part of the solution. Strangers, Neighbors, Friends--co-authored by a Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew--aims to inform and inspire Abraham’s children that God calls us to extend our love beyond family and fellow believer to the stranger.
“These essays are like rays of light. They provide insight into
the Abrahamic traditions, but more importantly, they illuminate the
path to a common life together.”
—Eboo Patel, author of Interfaith Leadership, President of
Interfaith Youth Core
