F. E. Peters, a scholar without peer in the comparative study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revisits his pioneering work. Peters has rethought and thoroughly rewritten his classic The Children of Abraham for a new generation of readers-at a time when the understanding of these three religious traditions has taken on a new and critical urgency.

He began writing about all three faiths in the 1970s, long before it was fashionable to treat Islam in the context of Judaism and Christianity, or to align all three for a family portrait. In this updated edition, he lays out the similarities and differences of the three religious siblings with great clarity and succinctness and with that same remarkable objectivity that is the hallmark of all the author's work.

Peters traces the three faiths from the sixth century B.C., when the Jews returned to Palestine from exile in Babylonia, to the time in the Middle Ages when they approached their present form. He points out that all three faith groups, whom the Muslims themselves refer to as People of the Book, share much common ground. Most notably, each embraces the practice of worshipping a God who intervenes in history on behalf of His people.

The book's text is direct and accessible with thorough and nuanced discussions of each of the three religions. Footnotes provide the reader with expert guidance into the highly complex issues that lie between every line of this stunning edition of The Children of Abraham. Complete with a new preface by the author, this Princeton Classics edition presents this landmark study to a new generation of readers.

Cutest little story!
Format: Board book
I just got this for my son and his Daddy. The story is so cute and I may have gotten choked up at the end. If you’re looking for a story for your man to read to your little one(s), I highly recommend this one!

Lovely, adorable & well-written - perfect, "daddy" book!
Format: Board book
I bought this book for my son (and maybe a little for my husband lol) when I realized he had 3 "mommy-centered" books, but none for daddy. I wanted one with quality artwork that also had a more tender and meaningful approach, rather than just silly, one that could foster appreciation of my husband and how much he loves my son. I had a difficult time narrowing down which book to get, but I am SO very glad that this is the one I went with. The pictures are adorable, the rhythm & rhyming are very well done and flow well, and the message of the book is exactly what I was hoping for, showing how daddy helps baby learn and grow and how much they love each other. My son loves it!
