Christianity, Judaism and Islam A Missiological Encounter

As we encounter people of other faiths, we wonder about their Religious beliefs, Cultural practices, and personal aspirations. We also wonder how we could relate to them as neighbours or colleagues.

This book Christianity, Judaism and Islam: A Missiological Encounter provides some guidelines as to how to relate to those who claim themselves as the descendants of Abraham, the common ancestor of three major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

This book is primarily a Study book. It gives the essence of each of the above three religions. It strives to create awareness and understanding as we encounter the adherents of these three religious traditions.
