Welcome to Pathways of Faith, the theme for Frankfort's Let's Talk About It! discussion series. We will discuss 5 books over the next 5 months. Our first selection is F. E. Peter's The Children of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, Islam. One of the first scholarly works to explain the commonalities and connections between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, The Children of Abraham explores the intertwined relationships among the three faiths' holy scriptures, rituals, communities of believers, laws, theological systems, and traditions of mysticism.
Leading our discussion series is Dr. Scott Alexander, Associate Professor of Islam and Director of the Catholic-Muslim Studies Program at Catholic Theological Union, Chicago.
