The world's three great monotheistic religions have spent most of their historical careers in conflict or competition with each other. And yet in fact they sprung from the same spiritual roots and have been nurtured in the same historical soil. This book--an extraordinarily comprehensive and approachable comparative introduction to these religions--seeks not so much to demonstrate the truth of this thesis as to illustrate it. Frank Peters, one of the world's foremost experts on the monotheistic faiths, takes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and after briefly tracing the roots of each, places them side by side to show both their similarities and their differences. Volume I, The Peoples of God, tells the story of the foundation and formation of the three monotheistic communities, of their visible, historical presence. Volume II, The Words and Will of God, is devoted to their inner life, the spirit that animates and regulates them. Peters takes us to where these religions live: their scriptures, laws, institutions, and intentions; how each seeks to worship God and achieve salvation; and how they deal with their own (orthodox and heterodox) and with others (the goyim, the pagans, the infidels). Throughout, he measures--but never judges--one religion against the other. The prose is supple, the method rigorous. This is a remarkably cohesive, informative, and accessible narrative reflecting a lifetime of study by a single recognized authority in all three fields. The Monotheists is a magisterial comparison, for students and general readers as well as scholars, of the parties to one of the most troubling issues of today--the fierce, sometimes productive and often destructive, competition among the world's monotheists, the siblings called Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

La religion des anciens Grecs fait régulièrement l’objet d’introductions et de synthèses. Le présent ouvrage s’en distingue par la réflexion qu’il propose sur la pluralité inhérente à ce système religieux. En effet, la tension entre unité et pluralité, entre général et particulier est constitutive des relations que les Grecs entretenaient avec leurs nombreux dieux. À partir de ce constat, plusieurs questions traversent le livre. Quelle est la pertinence des termes de religion et de polythéisme pour comprendre la Grèce antique ? Doit-on parler de « religion grecque » au singulier ou au pluriel ? Les figures divines se dissolvent-elles dans la variété de leurs cultes jusqu’à en devenir méconnaissables ? Peut-on parler de « croyance » dans ce cadre ? La pratique sacrificielle était-elle strictement locale ou bien fondée sur un arrière-plan partagé par toutes les communautés grecques ? En prenant l’Enquête d’Hérodote comme fil rouge, l’investigation entend rendre justice à un foisonnement de dieux et de rituels, et rendre intelligible la pluralité fluide d’un système complexe, bien loin de l’impression de chaos à laquelle nos propres déterminismes culturels risquent de le réduire.

Drawing on a wealth of traditional and philosophical material, mainly from Jewish sources, this treatise shows how human values illuminate the idea of God, which in turn sheds light on our value concerns.
