Описание книги

Rabbi Jesus interpreted the teachings of Torah to his followers. The Prophet Mohammad received a divine revelation centuries later that returned his people to the faith of Abraham. The holy texts of all three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, teach compassion, generosity, and nonviolence. While culture and politics often speak one understanding of «wisdom,» each of these faith traditions asks very different and difficult behavior of their followers, i.e., loving enemies, showing compassion for all, and giving away wealth to serve the poor; in other words, grace-filled living which the world sees as «foolish.» Worldly Wisdom and Foolish Grace reflects on ten of the hardest words spoken in Abraham's tent, places «foolish grace» up against «worldly wisdom,» and asks us to choose which road to take.

Lessons from Abraham’s Tent

At the beginning of each chapter in this book, I include epigraphs of sacred texts from Torah, The Younger Testament Gospels and The Quran or Muslim Hadith writings as examples of how all three of these ancient texts reveal the same truth and divine will on how we are to live together.

For the sake of time and convenience through this study, I will call the one divine Ground of all Being, the one divine energy of love and peace that we worship, “God.” In my own mind, I sometimes substitute the word “Good” for “God” when I’m trying to see things from the point of view of those of no faith or those whose faith is non-theistic. I do not claim to understand “God,” as separate or different in any way from “Adonai,” “Allah,” or any of the other names people give to their experience of the Holy.
