God, Yahweh, Allah
Description:
A day does not pass without some news story involving one or all of the three great monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In view of this, here is a one-of-a-kind interreligious book that will be both interesting and informative to young people ages eight and up. It consists of a hundred real questions they have asked concerning these religions. The questions revolve around such topics as basic questions concerning the religions, faith, everyday life, holy places, prayers,holy days, and contemporary issues. Some of the questions are simple, such as what foods are forbidden and what must one wear to pray. Others are more complex and explore life events such as marriage and funerals, as well as the stereotypes that inevitable arise. Full color, contemporary illustrations enliven the text and there is a glossary and useful time line.
Perfect for reading alone, with family, or in the classroom,this book is an exceptional resource to help children understand their own religion and learn about others, as well as not to fear those who are different from them.
