Volume 2: The Word and the Law and the People of God. Taking the basic texts of the three related - and competitive religious systems, the author has juxtaposed extensive passages from the texts, along with his own skillful connective commentary, in a topical and parallel arrangement according to the issues that most concerned all these 'children of Abraham'. This second in the series discusses the scriptures of three faiths in various contexts, exegetical and legal. F. E. Peterson is Professor of Near Eastern Languages and Literatures, History, Hebrew, and Judaic Studies at New York University.
