Poverty and Wealth in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam de Nathan R. Kollar

Poverty and Wealth in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Editat de Nathan R. Kollar, Muhammad Shafiq
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 iul 2016
This book gathers scholars from the three major monotheistic religions to discuss the issue of poverty and wealth from the varied perspectives of each tradition. It provides a cadre of values inherent to the sacred texts of Jews, Christians, and Muslims and illustrates how these values may be used to deal with current economic inequalities. 
Contributors use the methodologies of religious studies to provide descriptions and comparisons of perspectives from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam on poverty and wealth. The book presents citations from the sacred texts of all three religions. The contributors discuss the interpretations of these texts and the necessary contexts, both past and present, for deciphering the stances found there. Poverty and Wealth in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam identifies and details a foundation of common values upon which individual and institutional decisions may be made.

Recenzii

“This book is an excellent comparison and contrast of each of these religions. … Overall, the comparison and contrast were done well and from a purely unbiased standpoint. I think that everyone should understand other cultures and how they view the major aspects of society. This book helps every Christian, Jew, or Muslim understand the views that the others hold to.” (Justin Dilliplane, Resolved for Christ, resolvedfc.blogspot.de, January, 2018)
