Three Messengers for One God

In this text Arnaldez approaches the three monotheisms from the vantage point of the believer and the necessary specificity of faith. While such an approach inevitably produces irreducible dogmatic differences, the traditions themselves suggest a point of convergence. Arnaldez demonstrates that each tradition mandates, in its own way and according to its own history, that believers interiorize their faith. They thereby proclaim that the faith of the authentic believer is rooted within what is called the "heart." Those Jews, Christians, and Muslims who have most radically pursued this inner life are the mystics, and their writings reveal an understanding of the heart that transcends differences of dogma without abolishing these differences.
