Description: Judaism. Christianity. Islam. The world's three major monotheistic religions have a long, intertwined history, one that includes many infamous acts of war and persecution. Regrettably, some of these barbarities persist today. But the three religions have shared -- and continue to share -- much more than periodic strife. They embrace a belief in a single divine Lord: Yahweh, God, Allah. They have an ancient patriarch in Abraham, whose lineage extends in all three faiths. They call upon similar teachings and espouse principles of compassion and charity. And their stories are filled with crucial events that happened in the Middle East. In Holy Lands: One Place, Three Faiths, LIFE examines, in words and often beautiful pictures, the complicated, fascinating religious history of Israel, the West Bank, the Sinai and Saudi Arabia; Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Mecca and Medina. Holy Lands weighs the tension in these and other places in that region, and seeks answers to timeless problems. The book is permeated with a hope, eloquently expressed by the celebrated writer Thomas Cahill in his introduction, that "whatever may happen in the short term, whatever fresh horrors may transpire, no one can doubt that in the long run there will be peace in the Holy Land."
