This is a brave exercise in irenic exegesis, and one much needed in these days of tension between faiths. The engagement of Judaism, Christianity and Islam with major figures such as Abraham, Adam, Noah and with Jesus and Mary, is examined here in thought-provoking detail. One of the most important chapters in the book is number eleven, ?Adonai, Allah and the triune God? In it the claims of Christianity meet the challenge of Islam most acutely. The author writes as a Christian who does not assume agreement where there is none. He tries to be scrupulously fair in setting out argument and counter-argument, and in the process gives the reader plenty to follow up with further reading.
