Trialogue of the Abrahamic Faiths is a collection of papers edited by Ismail al-Faruqi. First published in 1982 by the International Institute of Islamic Thought,[1] the book gathers scholars from Islam, Christianity, and Judaism to explore how the three faiths interact and understand each other. The book emphasizes fostering dialogue, mutual respect, and shared values among the Abrahamic faiths.
