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.

Smooth and Creamy but…
It’s smooth and light. No oily or sticky residue left on skin. This has absolutely no fragrance so good for sensitive skin. It moisturized through my 9 hours of sleep. I applied directly after my shower. Only con I found- hard to squeeze if you have arthritis.

Love this Dove!
I have picky and fussy skin! I never really know what might upset it, and cause it to freak out! I do know that the skin on my hands, particularly around my cuticle area, has an attitude problem! If I use the wrong nail polish or nail polish remover, wash my hands too much, if it's too hot or too cold, or if I just breathe wrong at this point; my cuticles are going to get wrecked! I've tried cuticle oils, cuticle masks, cuticle creams, and everything in between to help them; but to no avail! And what makes it worse, is that l'm a picker! So, once I see a flap of skin, I have to get rid of it! This is a bad combo! But, I'm really happy to report that this Dove Cream Serum REALLY helped!! My skin isn't near as inflamed, it's healed in a few spots completely, and I was even able to put some nail strengthener on them, without my cuticles feeling like they were on fire!! I used this product after cuticle oil to lock it in, and it helped so much!! It is odorless, so no perfumes to make the inflammation worse! It is creamy but melts down nicely into the skin! It lasts! And I love all of the extras in it like the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide! I've also started using this on my legs, feet, and my heels look like a baby’s butt! Soft and dead skin free! My strawberry legs have even started to look less noticeable.

Too dry.
My skin doesn’t feel any better. The lotion is very dry. Doesn’t spread well.
