Desctiption:
Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe that their Scriptures are God-originated messages to humanity. Yet we have sharp disagreements about what is included in the Scriptures and how to understand them. What are Tanak, Old-New Testaments, and Qur’ān? Are they related to one another? Do the Scriptures relate to the ways believers live? Does God “speak” in different “voices” to different faith communities? Is there a unified message? How might we understand “hot-button” passages? What may we learn from one another?
