The authors have selected key passages from the laws of both faiths which allow a close examination of their mode of expression as well as their substance. The passages concentrate on areas critical to the life of piety and faith as actually practiced within the two religious communities: the relationship of the believer to God, to other believers, to his or her spouse, to those in the larger community, and to those who do not share the same faith. |

Publisher Description: Judaism and Islam compare because they concur that God cares deeply not only about attitudes but actions, not only about what one says to God but how one conducts affairs at home and in the village. |
