The Challenge of the Mosaic Torah in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

This volume addresses the theological issues which arose when different ancient religious groups within three Abrahamic religions attempted to understand or define their opinion on the Mosaic Torah. The twelve chapters explore various instances of accepting, modifying, ignoring, criticizing, and vilifying the Mosaic Torah.
