The aim of The Challenge of the Mosaic Torah in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is to address the theological issues arising when different ancient religious groups inside three Abrahamic religions attempted to understand or define their opinion on the Mosaic Torah.
Twelve articles explore various instances of accepting, modifying, ignoring, criticizing, and vilifying the Mosaic Torah. They demonstrate a range of perspectives of ways in which the Mosaic Torah has formed a challenge. These challenges include Persian religious policy when the Mosaic Torah was formed , intra-Jewish discussions e. Samaritans , religious practices the New Testament debates of ritual laws and interreligious debates on validity of the Torah stipulations with Christians and Muslims.
Copyright Year: E-Book PDF. Belief in the need to worship God is common to all religions. The most basic form of worship is prayer.
Each tradition prescribes specific words and requirements for prayer, which takes place at appointed times of day. Public prayer in houses of worship is common to all three faiths: for Jews on Saturday, for Christians on Sunday, and for Muslims on Friday, and during celebrations throughout the year. Another of the shared beliefs of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is the recognition of the personal and private prayer of each believer.
According to most adherents of the Abrahamic faiths, prayers marking the times of day and the yearly cycle are among the most important signs of obedience to God. Such rituals are also the source of scientific efforts to achieve accurate timekeeping and calendars. The work of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim astronomers reflects this common and shared effort.
Another common practice in the Abrahamic tradition is giving charity as an act of kindness, to help the poor, or as a way to make up for bad deeds. The idea that wealth is purified through giving is also common to the three traditions. Water also has a spiritual significance in the Abrahamic faiths. Purification of the body before prayer and in connection with other rituals is a common theme.
The three faiths also share similar concepts of a pilgrimage. Adherents of these faiths journey in search of knowledge to holy sites. There, they seek forgiveness and strengthen their connection with God. However, each pilgrimage involves different destinations. Christians celebrate a long tradition of visiting the holy land and other shrines.
Meanwhile, Jews travel to the site of the temple in Jerusalem as a pilgrimage destination. Individuals and communities follow ethical, practical, and religious laws. Learn more about available offers and programs, events, and public tours, or buy a ticket online for your planned visit.

This lecture series explores the complex relationship of Judaism and Islam to the other religions. Two researchers are invited to each event who present the topic from Jewish and Islamic perspectives and enter into dialog with each other.
To begin with, Judaism and Islam consider each other — two scholars discuss how they see each other from different perspectives.
Where, when, what? Judaism is generally regarded as the first monotheistic religion. How did Jewish scholars view this new religion? Both the Koran and early Islamic writings testify to numerous encounters between the Prophet Mohammed and Jews.
What does the Muslim Holy Scripture and early Muslim tradition reveal about how they perceived Jews and their religious ideas and practices? Like the God of Moses, Allah was a lawmaker. The Quran provided often varied guidance to the believing community in matters of marriage and family law, women, inheritance, food and drink, worship and purity, warfare, punishments for adultery and false accusations of adultery, alcohol and theft.
In short, it provided the foundation of what was later to be much elaborated in sharia law. Muslims, Christians and Jews do all worship the same complex God. Yet, in spite of this, all believe that their religion contains the full and final revelation of the same God. Here is the origin of their unity. Here also lies the cause of their division. For this belief in the truth of one religion and the falsity of the others leads to inevitable conflict between the believer and the unbeliever, the chosen and the rejected, the saved and the damned.
Here lie the seeds of intolerance and violence. So the God of Muhammad, like the God of Jesus and Moses, divides as much as he unites, a cause of strife both between and within these religions.
