The subject will provide background on three Abrahamic Religions, or the world religions called Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is a brief primer on their geographic and spiritual origins, the basic beliefs, scriptures, and practices of each faith. It describes the calendars and major celebrations in each tradition.

 

Aspects of the moral and ethical beliefs and the family and social values of the faiths are discussed. Comparison and contrast among the three Abrahamic Religions help to explain what enabled their adherents to share in cultural, and social life, and what aspects of the faiths might result in disharmony among their adherents.
