Raging Fire of Love: What I’ve Learned from Jesus, the Jews, and the Prophet

Kelly James Clark

As I was writing this book on Muslim, Christian and Jewish love, I learned that I am writing about how I learned about love of neighbor and even enemy. When I’m writing about compassion in the Abrahamic traditions, I am writing about what I have learned, first and foremost, from Christians (my spiritual home), second, Jews, and third, Muslims. This is a story about me and my friends—Kirk, Jim, Nancy, Mary Ann and Ted; Aaron, Silvia, Samuel, Shira and Shlomit; and Abdullah, Ghazala, Asif, Zahabia and Mohammed. It is also a story about me, a philosopher with a deep interest in religion and peace, and my encounters with the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran. With Forwards by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu.
