A question runs through this book: could the three monotheistic currents – Islam, Judaism, Christianity – one day tolerate each other, forgive each other, not because they come from the same God, but because they recognize in themselves the same type of infidelity to what founds them? Each would consider themselves children of the same original lack, marked by a flaw. This flaw, which is not attributable to anyone, in any case not to their neighbor, is intrinsic to human beings, and many, outside the religious field, confront it as best they can. What the three monotheisms make of their origin is always an enigma: Daniel Sibony unravels the threads and the issues, profoundly renewing the understanding of these religions, of their relationships with each other and with the modern world.
