Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths
Here's a book that caught my attention on NPR this morning. Of particular interest where the authors comments that many of the aspects of exclusivity attributed to Abraham by these three religions (i.e. we are saved, the rest of you are going to Hell) are not present in the text at all, but are creations of the institutions years later, when the leadership tried to justify their power & position. Sounds like it's worth picking up.
