The Holy Mosaic Add a review

Annotation

The Holy Mosaic delves into the rich and intricate history of Syria, tracing the origins and evolution of its three major religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as they are the three major monotheistic religions of the world today. This book is an unprecedented guide to understanding how Judaism began and evolved as well as how the Christians and Muslims later appeared in that part of the world. The Holy Mosaic looks at Syrian history but through the lens of religion, the specificity of which has not been shared by the public over the years. It gives accordingly, figures, main events, and relations between these faiths and others in centuries. Boasting a strict adherence to the principles of neutrality and respect, this elaborate analysis proves rather beneficial for understanding how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam on the one hand, and Syrian society on the other reciprocally influenced one another.
