Religions from the Middle East: An Exploration of Faiths Shaping a Region (2 in 1)

This book contains information about two religions that share similarities and differences, and, sadly, seem to be at conflict which each other a lot in the modern age. However, reality dictates that these can both be found in the Middle East, despite one being more dominant than the other. The religions in this book are:

Islam - Islam, a faith that has shaped the course of history and continues to influence the lives of over a billion people worldwide, is often misunderstood and oversimplified. Rooted in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, Islam emerged in the 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula and has since grown into a rich and diverse tradition encompassing a wide range of beliefs, practices, and interpretations. At its core, Islam is characterized by a profound belief in the oneness of God (Allah), the importance of community, and a commitment to ethical living.

Judaism - Judaism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, has a rich tapestry of history, belief, and practice that has evolved over millennia. Rooted in the covenant between God and the Jewish people, Judaism is not only a faith but also a cultural and ethical system that has profoundly influenced Western civilization and continues to shape the lives of millions around the globe. This book aims to explore the intricate layers of Jewish thought, practice, and identity, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be Jewish in both historical and contemporary contexts.
