Why do Christians, Muslims and Jews not get on, since they all stem from one man, Abraham?

An history of Jewish religion and philosophy, its traditions and practices, that is illustrated with over 500 photographs and paintings. It highlights biblical teaching and traces its development across the centuries from earliest and rabbinic times onwards. It also covers teachings about rites of passage including marriage, bar and bat mitzvahs.

In all three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, marriage is part of God's plan for humanity, as illustrated in the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and the Koran as well as the religious literature of these three traditions. It is viewed as a sacred bond as well as a means to personal fulfilment. It is more than a legal contract, rather an institution with cosmic significance, legitimized through divine authority. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the purpose of marriage is to build a home, create a family and thereby perpetuate society. Yet, despite the similarity of perception in the great monotheistic faiths, there are important differences. In this book three scholars outline sex law, betrothal and marriage, family life and the understanding of divorce in these traditions and discuss the differences between them in a student-friendly and accessible way.
