ABSTRACT

The three Abrahamic faiths have had a rather uneasy relationship over the past centuries. Even today, many of the major conflicts in the four quarters of the globe have their origins in the conflicting views of the followers of these three major faiths. Against such a background, in Chapter 10, entitled “Islam, Christianity, and Judaism: Can they ever live peacefully together?”, it is argued that the ground for peaceful coexistence, both at a theoretical level and at the practical level of living together in the same society, is reasonably within the reach of the adherents of these faiths. The argument of the chapter is focused on both the possibility of an honourable and peaceful coexistence and the desirability of genuine efforts to achieve it.
