Reihe: Studies on the Children of Abr

The nexus between monotheism and ethics, especially in the forms professed by the three Abrahamic faiths, is the theme that binds together the studies in this volume. Fourteen leading academics from around the world discuss philosophical and theological connections, historical interactions, as well as responses to new and contemporary issues. Most, though not all of the essays, find a meaningful connection between monotheism and ethics; but none shy away from the problems involved.

Contributors include: Lenn Goodman, William Wainwright, Menachem Kellner, Abbas Hamdani, Joseph Boyle, Michael Fagenblatt, Y. Tzvi Langermann, Roxanne Marcotte, Aladdin Yaqub, Aron Mackler, Cynthia Cohen, William Scott Green, Basilius Bawardi and Eugene Garver.
