"For using his considerable intellectual skills in that way, he should be commended and thanked." (International Journal of Systematic Theology, 19 June 2015)
"A new book by David Burrell is always something to look forward to." (Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, 14 November 2014)
"Burrell's work is highly learned ...This is not an easy book, but it is well worth the effort in wrestling with as we attempt to come to our own answers to such vexed questions." (Regent's Reviews, 2012)
"This is a challenging, sensitive, appreciative, deep and broad-minded book." (The Muslim World Book Review, 2012)
"Burrell encourages dialogue between persons - conversations that may foster mutual understanding of such antithetical issues as ways of interpreting Scripture, Scripture as the word of God, Muslim attitudes toward the Christ figure, and Christians relating to a fresh revelation after Christ. [He] concludes that whatever Christians may think about Judaism and Islam, their encounter with Jews and Muslims is what matters. Recommended: Graduate students and above." (Choice, 2011)"The work of a master scholar who has devoted a lifetime ofscholarly, dialogical, and contemplative reflection to these threeinterconnected traditions. Audacious in its breadth, the book alsoaddresses important and urgent issues, ranging from creation andeschatology to providence and grace, and the debates that eventoday continue to divide Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Thislearned and passionate book is a service to all three communities,a helpful reference work for the ongoing dialogue."
--Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Director of the Center forthe Study of World Religions, Harvard University
"Comparative Theology at its best, focusing on fundamentalreligious questions and pointing to ways in which the dialoguebetween religious traditions can both expand and deepen theologicalunderstanding. Skillfully comparing representative thinkers fromthe Jewish, Muslim and Christian traditions and combiningtheological reflection with personal narratives, Burrell sheds newlight on ancient doctrines and offers helpful suggestions fordealing with issues that have long troubled the relationshipbetween the three traditions."
--Catherine Cornille, Boston College
"This book is both the fruit of, and an invitation tohospitality. After decades of welcoming and being welcomed by theJewish and Muslim intellectual traditions, David Burrell challengesChristians, Muslims and Jews to recognize that we share a commonintellectual home; that despite our differences--or rather byexploring them--we will discover a richness that each traditionbrings to the discourse about the one God."
