Transcending Jerusalem

The book considers the major figures in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths, from Adam through Abraham and Moses to Jesus and Muhammad, trying to find a way of understanding their many paradoxes. These include the three faiths/one God dilemma; Jews as Chosen People; Christian Jesus as Messiah; and Islam's `Perfected religion'. By understanding the way each faith tells us something about who and where we are, where we've come from and where we're headed, we can come to see religion not as the biggest part of the problem but as the biggest part of the solution.
