Journey Into an Interfaith World (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

In this comprehensive volume, Dr. Kenneth L. Vaux explores the shared theological ground of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-the common God, the common good, the common word, and the common work. Based on the premise that the three Abrahamic faiths are given by God for some purpose in God's universal history, Journey Into An Interfaith World traces the ways in which these faith movements flow together from and into each other in synergistic ways. At the same time, the book reveals how each fraternal faith has missed the mark in disassociating from its sibling traditions. Vaux's ""journey"" examines the spiritual genealogy shared by the three cognate faiths--from whom we come--as well as the mutual spiritual ontology--to whom we belong. ""All three traditions echo the same refrain: 'Do we not belong to One God?'"" Kenneth L. Vaux, Professor of Theology and Ethics at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, is a member of the Graduate Faculty at Northwestern University and Fellow of the Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies at Cambridge. He is the author of America in God's World (2009), Ethics and the War on Terrorism (2002), Biomedical Ethics (1974), Jew, Christian, Muslim (2003), and An Abrahamic Theology for Science (2007).
