First sentence: The complete story of monotheism moves sequentially from Judaism to Christianity to Islam, and the sacred texts of the TANAKH, the New Testament, and the Qur'an are explored for their unity using the metaphor of a bridge. After interviewing an Imam, this book deals with the divisive issue of land, then the author interviews a young Palestinian Muslim. Next the author explores Quranic passages of good news and bad news, then deals with more divisive issues and their possible solutions. The bridge connects Mount Sinai (the site of the first revelation), Jerusalem (the second revelation), and Mecca (the third revelation), to find the full story of God and God's relationship with humanity. Offering a vision of how to realize this, the author celebrates the unity of monotheism and helps to appreciate the individuality of each religious tradition.
