Overall, this is a very valuable addition to the growing body of interreligious literature. * Catholic Library World * The book is an outcome...that brought together an international group of 16 Jewish, Catholic an Muslim scholoars to carry on an important theological exploration of the theme of learned ignornance * Islamic Horizons * This explicitly theological and exceptionally engaging collection of scholarly essays represents trilateral dialogue in its most refined yet attractively challenging form. Here Jewish, Christian and Muslim authors address core mysteries of their faiths that bear consequentially on the whole 'Abrahamic' monotheistic tradition. Their compelling unity of purpose is to unravel, by thinking pluralistically to the limits of knowledge beyond specific questions, that condition of wonderment and intellectual humility before ineffable truth. * John Borelli, Georgetown University *
