The Tent of Abraham, by Waskow, Chittister, Chisti (hardcover, July 2006, $24.95, 0-8070-7728-3)
“We have seen all too much evidence of how the three Western faiths can be used to foment hatred and bloodshed. People really must read this book, for the choice of interpreting our three faiths as the grounds for war or for peace is nothing less than a choice between life and death.”
—Rabbi Elliot N. Dorff, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Judaism
"The Tent of Abraham, Hagar, and Sarah, open on all sides, and a tent of welcome to the ‘other,' is an image critical to our fractured time. The stories of our common ancestors told in this book with such creative imagination inspire all of us to build community across the walls that normally divide us. The process that the authors have engaged in, to listen to the old stories with new ears, provides us new handles to engage with others. This book is an inspiration for those who engage in such an exciting journey."
—Bob Edgar, General Secretary, National Council of Churches
“When we share our spiritual journeys, even when the stories of our lives are different from each other, we often find their source in the Compassionate One who calls on us to be compassionate. So it is when we share the stories of our great family, the Family of Abraham, peace be upon him. This book shares our different stories in ways that beckon us toward peace and toward the One.”
—Sayyid M. Syeed, Ph.D., Secretary General, Islamic Society of North America
