Historical circumstances have colored how members of the Abrahamic religions see one another; so, too, have the ways in which their traditions have constructed their identities. Ruminating on the perceived connections between the traditions that the concept of the “Abrahamic religions” implies, proponents of interfaith engagement have sometimes fastened on Abraham as a model of how his self-proclaimed descendants might treat each other more generously.","PeriodicalId":216820,"journal":{"name":"The Abrahamic Religions: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125377547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
