F.E. Peters, a scholar without peer in the comparative study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revisits his pioneering work. Peters has rethought and thoroughly rewritten his classic The Children of Abraham for a new generation of readers-at a time when the understanding of these three religious traditions has taken on a new and critical urgency. He began writing about all three faiths in the 1970s, long before it was fashionable to treat Islam in the context of Judaism and Christianity, or to align all three for a family portrait. In this updated edition, he lays out the similarities and differences of the three religious siblings with great clarity and succinctness and with that same remarkable objectivity that is the hallmark of all the author's work. Peters traces the three faiths from the sixth century B.C., when the Jews returned to Palestine from exile in Babylonia, to the time in the Middle Ages when they approached their present form. He points out that all three faith groups, whom the Muslims themselves refer to as "People of the Book," share much common ground. Most notably, each embraces the practice of worshipping a God who intervenes in history on behalf of His people. The book's text is direct and accessible with thorough and nuanced discussions of each of the three religions. Footnotes provide the reader with expert guidance into the highly complex issues that lie between every line of this stunning edition of The Children of Abraham. Complete with a new preface by the author, this Princeton Classics edition presents this landmark study to a new generation of readers.

This groundbreaking book, developed with a grant from the Harriet and Robert Heilbrunn Institute for Interreligious Understanding of the American Jewish Committee, is a stepping stone to dialogue. Descended from a common ancestor, Jews and Muslims share a special relationship and practice religions that exhibit remarkable moral and theological resemblance. But most Muslims know little about Judaism. In his volume, Rabbi Firestone presents Judaism with a Muslim sensibility in mind, and thus establishes unprecedented intimacy between Jewish and Muslim consciousness and worldviews. His work is the first of its kind to offer a comprehensive introduction to Judaism with a special emphasis on issues of particular concern to Muslims. A publication of the Harriet and Robert Heilbrunn Institute for International Interreligious Understanding of the American Jewish Committee.

Did God set into motion the delicate balance of the solar system? Did He with a spoken word explode the universe into life? And is it possible that in this great designs that He made with great care, others in His image? And more importantly would they have to look like mankind to be so? One could go to any freak show and see people that were born much different than us. Some have two bodies’ that are connected at the head or the hip or chest. Are they in Gods image? Some are born with no arms or legs are they in Gods image? God is a spirit and they that worship Him must do so in spirit. Or so it’s been said. Imagine if you will an innumerable amount of solar systems in this galaxy and an innumerable amount of galaxies in the universe. Einstein said himself that there was too much order in the universe, that it is not random enough not to be designed by a higher being. What if there are other beings with more legs or arms, or whole races that look like beast that walk upright what if they called themselves men and women? Are they more men or women than us? This is a work of fiction. We are here to ponder the idea.

If you liked The Da Vinci Code, The Left Behind Series, or The Purpose Driven Life, you'll love Children of Abraham. Children of Abraham is an exciting, entertaining novel about redemption and the failure to redeem. It asks how we, our nations and the world would change if God made his presence undeniably known. A host of larger than life characters, each plagued with deep character flaws like pride, greed and hatred, navigate their lives as mysterious messages from God begin to appear in the media. At first the messages are thought to come from a supreme hacker, but, as they continue, a consensus grows that it just might be the Supreme Being. Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and Jews, the Children of Abraham, are all affected by the messages. The cultures differ yet one universal message emerges that unites them all.

First published during a resurgence of interest in Reformed theology, Children of Abraham made a major contribution to the re-thinking of the doctrine of the church and baptism around the world. Now revised and updated, David Kingdon's classic defence of believer's baptism deals cogently with this vital issue through careful exposition of Scripture and seeks to work out a positive view of children and the family in God's redemptive purpose. Commendations 'The issues dividing Baptists and Paedobaptists have to do with much more than the quantity of water and how (and when) it is to be applied. They have to do with matters as large as how we put our Bibles together. The best brief treatment of the topic from a Reformed Baptist perspective is this book by David Kingdon, here reprinted in an expanded form. I was struck by its cogency when I first read the material almost fifty years ago, and my estimation of its value has not changed.' D.A. Carson, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School 'I have long considered David Kingdon's Children of Abraham to be the definitive study of the Calvinistic, or Reformed, Baptist defence of our position on believer's baptism. I am thrilled to see this revision and reprint and heartily commend it to the reading of not only Baptists but also our Paedobapitst friends. Both will see that the Baptist position is deeply grounded in not only various Scriptural texts but also in the theological architecture of the Christian Faith.' Michael A.G. Haykin, Chair and professor of church history, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 'Reading David Kingdon's Children of Abraham helped to ground my baptistic theology, not so much in the voluntarist/individualistic tradition I was raised into, but in the rich covenant theology of baptist confessionalism. This is one of the reasons why I rejoice in seeing it reprinted and made available for this generation and those to come.' Leonardo De Chirico, pastor of the church Breccia di Roma and lecturer in historical theology at IFED (Padova, Italy) 'At last this valuable little book is back in print! In characteristically thoughtful and measured fashion, David Kingdom lays out a Reformed Baptist view of the covenants. The debates about baptism have continued over the past fifty years, but this volume endures as a persuasive and edifying contribution.' Bill James, Principal, London Seminary 'About thirty years ago, I heard the energetic Erroll Hulse speaking glowingly about Children of Abraham by David Kingdon. He thought it was the best book on the New Covenant and its implications on the place of baptism and children in the church. I am thrilled to know that it is about to bless a new generation of readers soon after its author's graduation to glory. May the Lord richly reward him for this unique gift to the Christian church!' Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church and founding chancellor of the African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia
