"In 1989, twenty-seven scholars of religion evenly divided among Jews, Christians and Muslims met for three days at a Catholic retreat outside Philadelphia, USA. This was the beginning of the 'International Scholars' Annual Trialogue'. This volume is composed of the best essays prepared and molded during those yearly dialogues through 1994."--P. [4] of cover.
