Description:

There are three dominant monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Their roots all trace back more than 4,000 years to the same origin: Abraham. Origins of Modern Religion For Dummies explores the Abrahamic faiths, and follows the evolution of these three religions from their common origin to their differing, yet linked, beliefs.
