A Bird's Eye View of the Abrahamic Faith Traditions
Study Group (2-3 session | This program is completed
Many of the challenges we face in our world today involve the need for greater understanding between the three Abrahamic Faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Join Rabbi Dr. Jacob Adler (Judaism), Rev. Dr. Philip Butin (Christianity), and Imam Abdellah Essalki (Islam) for this three-week course exploring each tradition's understanding of its scriptures, God, and the nature of human beings in relationship with God. We will share both common ground and differences found in each.
