A Historical Review of the Dialogical Relationship Among Monotheistic Religions

Abstract

This article discusses the religious experiences of various faiths within the Abrahamic tradition. It first examines the underlying systems and approaches, as reflected in classical works of religious thought that outline meta-religious principles, methodologies, traditions, and ideological frameworks. In analyzing the history and traditions of Abrahamic beliefs, this article seeks to summarize them within the framework of comparative religion, highlighting their historical development and importance in inspiring convivencia (coexistence) in a global context. The analysis is based on classical works studying the science of religion (religionswissenschaft) and its methodologies, which have produced foundational approaches and principles in this field. The research uses a qualitative framework with descriptive and analytical methods. This article also examines modern developments in the field of comparative religious studies and its role in promoting interfaith dialogue, while exploring our shared human heritage that emphasizes the spirit of La Convivencia as an inclusive and pluralistic force, particularly in the Malay region. In summary, the findings of the article demonstrate the influence and unprecedented presence of the Abrahamic tradition’s seeds in the world’s religions, especially those of Semitic lineage.
