Description: Judaism and Islam in Practice presents an invaluable collection of sources of Jewish and Islamic law and provides a unique analysis of the similarities and contrasts between the two faiths. The authors have selected key passages from the laws of both faiths which allow a close examination of their mode of expression as well as their substance. The passages concentrate on areas critical to the life of piety and faith as actually practiced within the two religious communities: the relationship of the believer to God, to other believers, to his or her spouse, to those in the larger community, and to those who do not share the same faith.
