Three Messengers for One God

Roger Arnaldez
Translated by Gerald W. Schlabach with Mary Louise Gude, C.S.C., and David B. Burrell, C.S.C.

Roger Arnaldez’s unique reflections on a comparative reading of the three Abrahamic faith traditions will interest instructors and students who specialize in Islamic, Jewish and Christian studies, as well as those who study comparative religion or scripture. Widely read in France since its publication in 1983, Three Messengers for One God has not been translated into English until now.

Reviews

”. . . [This] book provides a wealth of fascinating material about Islam coupled with a stimulating theological argument. Strongly recommended.” — First Things

“Originally published in France in 1983, this book analyzes ‘interior’ aspects of the three monotheistic traditions. After comparing Christian, Jewish, and Islamic views of God, Law, Scriptures, and faith, Arnaldez concludes that these three religions have forged a religious humanism that may offer a hope for a worldwide philosophy.” — Bulletin of the General Theological Library
